What you will learn

Harness the power of C# 6 and C# 7

Write more maintainable code in C#

Use powerful new features of Visual Studio 2017

Why take this course?

C# is one of the most powerful languages in the modern world of programming. It has one of the most powerful type system. There was a battle for sometime between Java and C# and now we can say for sure that C# won that battle from the language features point of view.

C# 6 is already released and fully available with Visual Studio 2015. C# 7 is under development still, but many announced features are already implemented and we can play with them in Visual Studio 2017 which is currently (when I'm writing this) itself under development (release candidate is available).

Teaching Approach

No fluff, no ranting, no beating the air. I esteem your time. The course material is succinct, yet comprehensive. All important concepts are covered. For absolute beginners, I offer my help on Skype absolutely free if requested. Don't forget that this course has English subtitles, so if you don't understand my accent, feel free to turn them on.

Take this course and you will be satisfied.

Keep pace with modern C#

If you go behind the modern C#, then this course is for you. This course will bring a whole picture of what's going on nowadays in C#. Modern C# is a powerful multiparadigmatical language. New versions of C# bring more and more functional features and you'll see it on practical examples.

Concise course on new features of C# 6, 7. As of this review visual studio 19 is now available. Hopefully, the teacher will update the course.

Dieser Kurs erklärt schon was in C#6 und 7 neu ist, jedoch sind die Beispiele sehr schnell runtergespielt und man muss selber herausfinden wo man welches Feature anwenden möchte. Für jemanden der einen groben Überblick braucht in Ordnung, für jemanden der gezielte und fachliche Aspekte benötigt, und über fundierte Kenntnisse in der Entwicklung verfügt der ist mit diesem Kurs unterfordert. Ich gebe 4 Sterne weil der Topic erfüllt wurde.

A quick overview of what's new in C# 6 and 7 with general examples. I would have liked to see more examples or exercises to work on.

These features were explained very well. A perfect audio and an understandable accent. Elias gave good examples and a clear explanation of details about the features. It's a short course and I recommend it only for actually c# developers. These topics were useful to notice the differences between the new features and the old ones. Congrats Elias!

Concise. No time wasted. Easily understood. This is recommended for C# developers who have at least 6 months of using C#. Source code is not present. I have to type it out on my editor.

Les explications sont très claires et c'est un très bon cours. Je n'ai pas mis 5/5 car le cours n'est pas encore fini et je reserve le 5/5 pour des cours exceptionnels.

This course provided lots of insight into many new features that I haven't had the time to learn. The instructor was very clear and concise in his presentation. The only thing I would improve upon is not using one code file to demonstrate all of the features...it just makes the file unreadable. Other than that, awesome job!!!
