Simple C# class to help you understand object oriented programming concepts

Object oriented programming. What is it?

That was my biggest question when I started programming.

It took me many months to get the object oriented programming concept fully cemented in my mind. Now I will help you get object orientation in less than an hour. Avoid needlessly complicated explanations that you find on the internet, as I explain everything in PLAIN language.

Object Oriented programming (OOP) is used in almost every popular language out there, be it Java, C#, Javascript or PHP. You’ll also need it for iOS and Android apps if you make those!

When I learnt object oriented programming it was from videos made by boring instructors. I wanted it to be fun and that’s why everything I explain is illustrated using Lego. Lego is the perfect tool because it is exactly like programming – they both are construction tools, used to build a final product.

We will do a little light programming during the course to demonstrate what OOP is. Our language of choice is C# because we can write it in the excellent (and free) cross platform software: Xamarin. Xamarin allows us to learn object oriented programming in C# on PC, Mac or Linux.

You do not need to know any C# (or even basic programming) beforehand.
