Slides from the lecture:

• Course Outline, Organisation Information
• Introduction to .NET and C#

Slides from the seminar:

• Introduction to .NET and C#

Source codes:

• HelloWorld.cs
• CSharpFeatures.cs (this file was created just to put many significant features at the screen, it is by no means an example of good coding habits!)
• SimpleDataStructures.zip

Notes, corrections etc.

• In CSharpFeatures.cs, there is another "cool" feature of C# 3.0. This feature makes creation of properties very easy in certain cases. See MSDN
• The answer to the question "does select always return something that is of type IEnumerable" is "yes, it does". The select statement is translated to the method Select by the compiler. Return type of this method is IEnumerable.
• Someone has asked me when you should rely on type inference and when it is better to state the type of a variable explicitly. I have scanned some recommendations from the book "Programming Microsoft LINQ" by Paolo Pialorsi and Marco Russo. See the scanned page.
