Welcome

1:30 with Jeremy McLain

In this course, we'll build a tower defense game while we learn about how to do object oriented programming in C#.

[SOUND] Welcome to C Sharp Objects. 0:00
I'm Jeremy and I'm a software developer. 0:06
This course will build on top of what we've already learned 0:09
about the basics of programming in C Sharp. 0:12
I recommend you follow the links in the teacher's notes if you haven't completed 0:14
the prerequisites, but you don't need to have any other programming experience. 0:18
In this course we'll learn how C Sharp supports 0:23
many of the basic principles of object oriented programming. 0:26
Object oriented programming is a common way to think about software development. 0:29
It's so common in fact that most programming languages today 0:33
are designed around it. 0:37
C Sharp is one of those languages. 0:38
So we call it an object oriented programming language. 0:40
You may hear people refer to object oriented programming as O O for short. 0:44
In order to learn the concepts of O O we'll build a simple version of a tower 0:48
defense game called tree house defense. 0:52
Invaders march down the path and 0:55
the user can place hours on the map shouldn't be invaders. 0:56
The user wins by destroying all the invaders. 1:00
If any of the invaders reach the end of the path and the user loses the game. 1:03
For now we won't worry about designing the graphics of the game 1:07
we'll just write code. 1:10
Designing and adding graphical elements to a game is quite a bit more work. 1:12
But if you're interested in learning how to make video games, 1:16
check out the teachers' notes for courses on that topic. 1:19
By the end of this course, we'll have learned most of the syntax or 1:23
rules of C Sharp. 1:26
Pretty cool? 1:27
Let's get going. 1:29
