Our Verdict
This course, a standout among Udemy's C# offerings, delves deep into the fundamental threshold concepts of coding and is easily accessible to beginners. The decision to utilize text editors and the Mono framework instead of Visual Studio makes for engaging lessons that strengthen debugging skills. However, it doesn't provide as much depth for some critical concepts and may leave advanced beginners with uncertain next steps.
What We Liked

- Uses plain language and real-world examples to explain complex concepts
- Teaches C# fundamentals using a text editor and Mono framework instead of relying on Visual Studio
- High-quality instruction with clear and concise explanations, suitable for learners who prefer Australian accents
Potential Drawbacks
- Lacks in-depth coverage of some concepts like dictionary and lists, structs and enums
- Minor issues with code explanation and occasional sound dropouts during video lectures
- Mono installation may be challenging for non-technical learners
- Limited guidance on how to transition from C# beginner to advanced topics or other programming languages
