Series Introduction - 01

cool series, thanks Bob!

Greatness!!! Thank you Bob!

Great idea to make these videos. How about - for future - a similar course for T-SQL 2008?

Thank you Bob! Great series

There are many programming tutorial videos out there. But Bob's videos are done exceptionally well. I am a student and I've recommended this series to my entire class. Amazing work Bob!

Great video series, and great idea! And I second the request for a similar series on for T-SQL (since almost all programming will need data & data-connections).

Diving in deep! Thanks Bob.

I loved the Windows Phone series! It so great to have a video series where you can watch how programming is done and program at the same time. Thanks Bob for the hard work and thanks Microsoft for supporting the video series!

Bob it's a great time to hear how your videos are clean and easy to understand. Microsoft Visual Studio is too big and has lot of things. It's like I'm back to computer-science class. You are my favorite tecaher honestly. Iba

For T-SQL training I would definately check out http://www.trainingspot.com/ (sister site of www.learnvisualstudio.net )

Bob I have to say. The videos are very clean and understandable. I recommend these series to anyone who start playing around with C#. Inspired by your videos I start with a serie of fundamental code snippets at: http://www.koodr.com/search/fundamentals .

I have a high opinion of Bob's ability as a teacher from previous sessions so I was looking forward to seeing this.

Sadly, there is no sound when I view it.

@morepork. You can get sound by switching the format of the video to HTML5. Sadly, doing this seems to remove the option to go full screen, so... Ugh. Somebody fix this please.

Is there a way to get the mp4 files to play in Windows Media Player?

thanks

Good

very good learning source. I have just started to learn C# on my own about 4 months ago. i have found some good and some not so good resources. so far this is the best! You get right down and explain how and why the different parts work in a basic way that makes sence to me. That is what some of the other sources lacked. Thanks

@vespergo: @Adi:  @mantisGamer:  @vanDiesel:  @Iba:  @anowar:  @Natt:  @Wayne:  Thank you for all your very kind words of encouragement.  Best wishes to all who take the time to comment.  Much appreciated!

@ciupaz:  @Jane:  Thanks!  I have found this to be true ... I've worked with the fine folks at Microsoft off and on for the past 8 years now and they ALWAYS take your requests very seriously.  In some form, I'm betting they'll deliver what you're asking for.

@Chuhukon:  Very cool resource!

@morepork:  @AndrewInMobile:  @calydon:  I would highly recommend that you use the Feedback link in the footer for issues like these.  The Channel9 team wants to know what is working and what isn't.  They're very receptive to these sorts of issues.  (Sadly, only I deliver the video it's out of my hands at that point.)  Hope you can get the issues ironed out.  

@gt5193:  Glad you liked that series ... it was partially the inspiration for all the Fundamentals series that are forthcoming.  Stay tuned!

Great Vids for Beginners !! Thanx BoB !!

Dear Bob... I have been following this series and downloaded the c# 2010 express edition. I had it before but reinstalled it and few other programs over and over and now problem is my intellisense is not working any of the IDE..(ie, c# 2010 express, vwd 2008 express, sql server management studio).

I had uninstalled c# and installed it again but still its not working even i have checked it from every possible options and settings... can you suggest what could be wrong please as its very annoying writing code without intellisense.
I am using windows 7 home professional 64bit

Thanks

@a1riz: Sounds like you're having some serious issues.  As painful as this sounds, I would recommend a total re-install of the OS to freshen everything.  Takes several hours.  Take backups and lots of notes before you start.  I do this myself ... often.  Or, at least I did before employing virtual machines for every new videos series / software development project.

thank you for your help

Hello Bob Sir,

First of all thanks alot for posting these great content, I am new to c#, I just want to know what are the topics that I need to more focus according to the real world application? Expecting reply from you Sir.

I subscribed in many .NET tutorials online, but I have never seen a powerful & an enjoyable tutorials like Mr.Bob's tutorials.

I have successfully installed VS C# 2010 Express Edition using Windows 7 and I have started on the excellent Visual C# 2010 Express Edition for Absolute Beginners video series. This is a minor hitch but when I first load the Hello World program I get the following warnings:

1. Invalid search path '%lib%' specified ln 'LIB environment variable' -- 'The system cannot find the path specified.'

2. Invalid search path 'c:\program files (x86)\devstudio\vc\mfc\lib' specified in 'LIB environment variable' -- 'The system cannot find the path specified.'

3. Invalid search path 'c:\program files (x86)\devstudio\vc\lib' specified in 'LIB environment variable' -- 'The system cannot find the path specified.'

However the program runs as it should. I am a beginner and I have no idea whether I should disregard this or try to resolve it and if so how?

In case others may encounter a similar annoyance, a kind soul in the VS C# 2010 Exp. forum provided the solution.

Tools --> Options --> Environment --> Startup --> At start up:

choose: Show empty environment

@anonymos: Thanks!

@abluckyid: Did you watch the final video in this series?  The next things to focus on for "real world" applications are picking a user interface technology ... decide "web" or "windows" applications.  If "web", then the next logical place to head is ASP.NET.  If "windows", learn "Windows Presentation Foundation".  ALSO, you will want to learn how to work with databases, so you will want to learn a little about "SQL Server", particularly, how to create tables, write queries, etc.  THEN you will want to learn more about "ADO.NET" and the "Entity Framework".  Hope that helps!!!

@mohammed: The best way to prep for the exams is experience.  Once you have a couple of years of experience, and need to make sure you are ready, the Transcender exams work best.  Best wishes!

@abdullahsalem: Thanks for the link love.    Glad you enjoy my work!  Much appreciated.

@Mard Osk:  Glad you were able to figure this out with the help of the forums. Sorry I couldn't provide any insight.

Awesome Bob just went through the vb.net and now am starting on C# , so helpful for a noob like myself  

@gerdi:  Cool!  You'll get bonus points for watching both.    Personally, I think learning both makes you a better programmer AND makes you more valuable.  Good luck!

Learned some basic programing on punch cards back in the 70's while in university. Studied some MS Macro Assembly in the 80's on my own. It is a whole new world now and I'm just trying to catch up. Your lessons seem like a good place to start.
