Course Description

This course is best suited for beginners. It is intended for anyone who so far has not engaged seriously in programming and would like to begin doing it. This course starts from scratch and introduces you step by step into the fundamentals of programming. It won’t teach you absolutely everything you might need for becoming a software engineer and working at a software company, but it will lay the groundwork on which you can build up technological knowledge and skills, and through them you will be able to turn programming into your profession. If you’ve never written a computer program, don’t worry. There is always a first time. In this course we will teach you how to program from scratch.

We do not expect any previous knowledge or abilities. All you need is some basic computer literacy and a desire to take up programming. If you can already write simple programs or if you have studied programming at school or in college, or you’ve coded with friends, do not assume you know everything! Taking this course makes you aware of how many things you’ve missed.

This Course is indeed for beginners, but it teaches concepts and skills that even experienced professional programmers lack. Software companies are riddled with a shocking amount of self-taught amateurs who, despite having programmed on a salary for years, have no grasp of the fundamentals of programming and have no idea what a hash table is, how polymorphism works and how to work with bitwise operations. Don’t be like them! Learn the basics of programming first and then the technologies. Otherwise you risk having your programming skills crippled, more or less, for years, if not for life.

Course Syllabus

Module 1 Introduction to Programming

In this module we will take a look at the basic programming terminology and we will write our first VB.Net program. We will familiarize ourselves with programming – what it means and its connection to computers and programming languages. Briefly, we will review the different stages of software development. We will introduce the language, the .NET platform and the different Microsoft technologies used in software development. We will also examine what tools we need to program in VB.Net and more.

Module 2 Primitive Types and Variables

we will examine primitive types and variables – what they are and how to work with them. First, we will focus on data types – integer types, real floating-point types, Boolean, character types, strings and object types. We will continue with variables, what they and their characteristics are, how to declare them, how they are assigned a value and what variable initialization is. We will familiarize ourselves with the main categories of data types – value and reference types and more.

Module 3 Operators and Expressions

We will familiarize ourselves with the operators and the operations they perform on the various data types. We will clarify the priorities of operators and familiarize ourselves with the types of operators, according to the count of the arguments they take and the operations they perform. Then, we will examine typecasting, why it is necessary and how to work with it. Finally, we will describe and illustrate expressions and how they are utilized.

Module 4 Console Input and Output

We will get familiar with the console as a means for data input and output. We will explain what it is, when and how it is used, what the concepts of most programming languages for accessing the console are. We will familiarize ourselves with some of the features for user interaction and will examine the main streams for input-output operations Console.In, Console.Out and Console.Error, the class Console and the utilization of format strings for printing data in various formats.

Module 5 Conditional Statements

We will cover the conditional statements, which we can use to execute different actions depending on some condition. We will explain the syntax of the conditional operators: if and if-else with suitable examples and explain the practical applications of the selection control operator switch. We will focus on the best practices that must be followed, in order to achieve a better style of programming when utilizing nested or other types of conditional statements.

Module 6 Loops

We will examine the loop mechanisms, through which we can execute a snippet of code repeatedly. We will discuss how conditional repetitions (while and do-while loops) are implemented and how to work with for loops. We will give examples of the various means for defining a loop, the way they are constructed and some of their key applications. Finally, we will see how we can use multiple loops within each other (nested loops).

Module 7 Arrays

We will familiarize ourselves with arrays as a means for working with a sequence of elements of the same type. We will explain what they are, how we can declare, create and instantiate arrays and how to provide access to their elements. We will examine one-dimensional and multidimensional arrays. We will learn the various ways for iterating through an array, reading from the standard input and writing to the standard output. We will give many exercises, which can be solved using arrays.

Module 8 Numeral Systems

We will take a look at the means for working with various numeral systems and the representation of numbers in them. We will pay special attention to the way numbers are represented in decimal, binary and hexadecimal numeral systems, because they are widely used in computers, communications and programming. We will also explain the methods for encoding numeral data in a computer and the types of encodings, namely signed magnitude, one’s complement, two’s complement and binary-coded decimals.

Module 9 Methods

We will get to know in details the subroutines in programming, which are called methods. We will explain when and why methods are used; will show how methods are declared and what a method signature is. We will learn how to create a custom method and how to use (invoke) it subsequently, and will demonstrate how we can use parameters in methods and how to return a result from a method. Finally, we will discuss some established practices when working with methods.

Module 10 Recursion

We will familiarize ourselves with recursion and its applications. Recursion is a powerful programming technique where a method invokes itself. By means of recursion we can solve complicated combinatorial problems where we can easily exhaust different combinatorial configurations. We will demonstrate many examples of correct and incorrect recursion usage and we will convince you how useful it can be.

Module 11 Creating and Using Objects

We will get to know the basic concepts of object-oriented programming – classes and objects – and we will explain how to use classes from the standard libraries of the .NET Framework. We will focus on some commonly used system classes and will show how to create and use their instances (objects). We will discuss how to access properties of an object, how to call constructors and how to work with static fields in classes. Finally, we will focus on the term "namespaces" – how they help us, how to

Module 12 Exception Handling

We will get to know exceptions in object-oriented programming. We will learn how to catch exceptions using the try-catch clause, how to pass them to the calling methods and how to throw standard, custom or caught exceptions using the throw statement. We will give a number of examples of their utilization and will look at the types of exceptions and the exceptions hierarchy they form in the .NET Framework. Finally, we will look at the advantages of using exceptions and how
