Learn C# with CSharpFritz - Ep 1: Types, Type Conversion, and C# Language Syntax

In this first episode of C# with CSharpFritz, Jeff introduces himself and our series of beginner friendly live streams talking about and teaching how to get started with C# and .NET development. This episode focuses on declaring variables, using types, and converting between those types.

Questions:
0:03:00 - You're learning C# from the right guy, they named the language after him!
0:10:25 - I didn't know C# was still relevant...
0:21:50 - What's the difference between mono and .NET?
0:24:41 - How is the .NET support in Linux?
0:26:07 - What are the pre-requisites to learn C#?
0:48:42 - Why isn't C# compiled to native code directly, instead of requiring a runtime?
1:04:29 - When 'var' is used, does it behave like a global variable in JavaScript?
1:08:03 - Do you recommend using 'var' to declare variables?
1:31:32 - Is the decimal 30.0 equal to the integer 30?
1:36:05 - What's the difference between a decimal, double, and a float?
1:42:41 - Is there something like 'Now' to get the current Date in C#?
1:44:14 - Are there features to help convert between time zones?

You so awesome! Can't wait to watch all the lessons. Wished I could have watched live 😪

[derelicts]

This is insanely good. A very casual, laid back and calm way of speaking while not being boring or making me fall asleep, and when I saw there's 66 videos with 2 hours each...yeah this is the course I need! Thank you so much!

Thank you very much for all your efforts, sir! I do appreciate very much!

19:55 -> mono vs N3t: Mono compiles all the way to assembly (runs natively on the machine) whereas the other runs on top of a Runtime.

Great show thank you very much. Although I know this stuff I listened again with pleasure

Hell yess!! THIS IS WHAT I NEED THANK YOU!! I got bored of learning strings ints basic variable stuff literally every programming language tutorial always start with those basics its boring and we cant build anything with just strings ints maybe a paper sisscor rocks game but its boring!! I end up with all the basic knowledge of a language but never know what to do. with it. THANK YOU.

[GeminiLearning]

Hi Jeff. Thanks for the good show bro.
You mean C# can run in Notebooks?

[devilmachine.]

Hi sir. I am new. So please tell me. Which which topic should I learn in .NET Core ?

[ashishnaidu]

Hello sir, I have a query which I really need in help with. I really want to learn C# but I have never used computers for any of the learning purpose but only used it for playing games and googling articles, that is all I have done so far. Do I need to learn any pre-requisites before jumping into learning a programming language or in understanding the jargons in the programming language? Please do suggest.

Where can I get such a cap? I live in Germany.

[amansquared]

where did you get your blue light blocking glasses :)

[gentleusurper]

[AhmedAlazzawi-mkfo]

Is his glasses to protect his eyes from screen ???
And if it is what is it called???

[wilfredoperez]

I am new to C# and i need to learn it but I am confused. Should I be learning C# first or dotnet?
