1
00:00:00,510 --> 00:00:03,019
Welcome back, how did you do?

2
00:00:03,019 --> 00:00:04,831
Don't worry if you ran into any issues,

3
00:00:04,831 --> 00:00:08,900
it's completely natural to struggle
when you're learning something new.

4
00:00:08,900 --> 00:00:12,080
Let's walk through how I
completed the session.

5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:16,736
To create the new C# workspace
I clicked on Workspaces in

6
00:00:16,736 --> 00:00:20,034
the main menu of the Treehouse website.

7
00:00:22,827 --> 00:00:27,688
Then here in the top left corner of
the list of existing Workspaces,

8
00:00:27,688 --> 00:00:29,238
I click the New link.

9
00:00:29,238 --> 00:00:35,931
In the New Workspace dialogue,
I enter the title C# practice session.

10
00:00:37,862 --> 00:00:40,068
Selected C# for the environment.

11
00:00:42,819 --> 00:00:44,779
And clicked Create Workspace.

12
00:00:47,226 --> 00:00:51,471
Once the workspace finished loading,
in the new window I selected the File,

13
00:00:51,471 --> 00:00:53,442
New File menu item to add a new file.

14
00:00:57,391 --> 00:01:01,113
And entered Program.cs for the file name.

15
00:01:04,930 --> 00:01:08,620
I then went and grabbed a copy of
the code from the teacher's notes for

16
00:01:08,620 --> 00:01:10,390
the first video.

17
00:01:10,390 --> 00:01:14,882
To do that I used the mouse to select
the code, and pressed Ctrl+ C, or

18
00:01:14,882 --> 00:01:18,175
Cmd+C on the Mac to copy
the code to the clipboard.

19
00:01:23,776 --> 00:01:28,771
I then use the mouse to click into
the Program.cs file, and pressed Ctrl+ V,

20
00:01:28,771 --> 00:01:32,570
or Cmd+ V on the Mac,
to paste the code from the clipboard.

21
00:01:35,210 --> 00:01:38,826
Don't forget to save the file at this
point, you can do that by pressing

22
00:01:38,826 --> 00:01:44,470
Ctrl+ S, or Cmd+ S on the Mac, or
select the File, Save menu item.

23
00:01:47,674 --> 00:01:51,372
Just as a quick review,
our class is program, and

24
00:01:51,372 --> 00:01:54,640
it's contains a single method named Main.

25
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:01,070
Remember that C# looks for a method
named main when the program is ran.

26
00:02:01,070 --> 00:02:06,970
The Main method contains a single line
of code, which will write the text,

27
00:02:06,970 --> 00:02:12,460
I love learning C# at Treehouse,
to the console when we run the program.

28
00:02:12,460 --> 00:02:16,190
Speaking of which,
let's compile and run our program.

29
00:02:16,190 --> 00:02:21,150
To start you need to make sure that the
console is visible by selecting the View,

30
00:02:21,150 --> 00:02:22,390
Show Console menu item.

31
00:02:25,834 --> 00:02:30,287
If the console is currently being
displayed, as it is for me, then you'll

32
00:02:30,287 --> 00:02:34,476
see the menu item Hide Console,
which allows you to hide the console.

33
00:02:34,476 --> 00:02:40,500
To compile the program,
I ran the command mcs Program.cs.

34
00:02:43,829 --> 00:02:48,846
Be sure to capitalize the letter P,
if you don't you'll receive an error from

35
00:02:48,846 --> 00:02:53,650
the compiler that the file program.cs
with a lower case p can't be found.

36
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,780
If the program was compiled successfully,
the command will complete but

37
00:03:02,780 --> 00:03:04,300
you won't see a message.

38
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,867
You can confirm that the command
worked by running the ls command,

39
00:03:14,867 --> 00:03:18,960
which will list the contents
of the current folder.

40
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:24,910
We can see that our folder contains two
files, Program.cs which is our code file,

41
00:03:24,910 --> 00:03:30,040
and Program.exe, which is our
program's compiled executable.

42
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:36,304
To run the program,
I ran the command, mono Program.exe.

43
00:03:40,314 --> 00:03:45,540
And here's the message, I love learning
C# at Treehouse written to the console.

44
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,480
Again, if you're unable to
get the program to run,

45
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:55,080
check to make sure you're typing the mono
command in all lower case letters, and

46
00:03:55,080 --> 00:04:01,800
that Program.exe starts with a capital P,
and ends with .exe.

47
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,330
Doing any part of that incorrectly
will result in an error.

48
00:04:06,540 --> 00:04:10,130
Once you've gotten the program to run
once, feel free to change the literal

49
00:04:10,130 --> 00:04:14,180
string value that is being passed
to the console write line method,

50
00:04:14,180 --> 00:04:17,970
I love learning C# at Treehouse,
to whatever you'd like.

51
00:04:25,559 --> 00:04:29,283
Just be sure to recompile the program
before you attempt to run it,

52
00:04:29,283 --> 00:04:33,483
otherwise you'll still see the previous
message written to the console.

53
00:04:44,027 --> 00:04:45,440
And that's it.

54
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,100
Be sure to keep practicing, and

55
00:04:47,100 --> 00:04:50,900
let us know if you'd like to see
more of these practice sessions.

56
00:04:50,900 --> 00:04:51,810
See you next time.
