About C# with Windows Forms Exam

C# is a powerful and widely used programming language for developing Windows applications. Windows Forms is a user interface (UI) framework that allows developers to create desktop applications with interactive components like buttons, text boxes, and grids. This course teaches C# programming with Windows Forms, helping learners understand object-oriented programming (OOP), .NET framework, loops, conditionals, and event handling. By the end of this course, learners will be able to build executable Windows applications, manage UI elements, handle user input, and work with databases.
