In this Introduction to Programming training class, students use C# to learn the basics of computer programming through the use of Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 and both the Visual C# and Visual Basic programming languages. The course assumes no prior programming experience and introduces the concepts needed to progress to the intermediate courses on programming, such as 20483B: Programming in C#.



  1. Learn to explain core programming fundamentals such as computer storage and processing.
  2. Learn to explain computer number systems such as binary.
  3. Learn to create and use variables and constants in programs.
  4. Learn to explain how to create and use functions in a program.
  5. Learn to create and use decisions structures in a computer program.
  6. Learn to create and use repetition (loops) in a computer program.
  7. Learn to explain pseudocode and its role in programming.
  8. Learn to explain the basic computer data structures such as arrays, lists, stacks, and queues.
  9. Learn to implement object-oriented programming concepts.
  10. Learn to create and use classes in a computer program.
  11. Learn to implement encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism.
  12. Learn to describe the base class library (BCL) in the .NET Framework.
  13. Learn to explain the application security concepts.
  14. Learn to implement simple I/O in a computer program.
  15. Learn to identify application errors and explain how to debug an application and handle errors.
  16. Learn to identify the performance considerations for applications.

This course was fantastic. It exceeded my expectations and I now feel educated and confident about working with Quickbooks on my own. The trainer was a fantastic instructor who had lots of useful information, and did a great job of continually reviewing what we had covered and making sure I understood everything. I am very happy with this service.
