In this article, we dig a little more into the string type. We also explore how to concatenate (combine) strings. As a programmer, you will often need to manipulate strings, concatenation and interpolation being two recurring themes. We will cover interpolation in the next installment.

This article is part of a learn programming series where you need no prior knowledge of programming. If you want to learn how to program and want to learn it using .NET/C#, this is the right place. I suggest reading the whole series in order, starting with Creating your first .NET/C# program, but that’s not mandatory.

This article is the first part of a sub-series showcasing the following articles:

• Introduction to string concatenation (you are here)
• Introduction to string interpolation
• Escaping characters in C# strings

In this article, we explore how to read user inputs from the console. This article is the foundation of more dynamic notions enabling our programs to change based on user interactions and react to them. We also learn how to change the title of the console and how to delete its content.

In this article, we explore how to write comments. Comments are simply human-readable pieces of text that are not compiled nor interpreted. A comment is usually a note that we can leave in the code for the next programmer to get into that code or for us. I left a few comments in preceding installments; did you noticed them?

In this article, we explore constants. A constant is a special kind of variable. The kind that does not vary; they are immutable.

Immutable means that it cannot change.

In this article, we explore variables. What they are, how to create them, and how to use them. Variables are one of the most important elements of a program, making it dynamic. Of course, there is more to variables than what we can cover in a single article; this is only the beginning.

The first step of coding is to create a program. The program could be a simple console or a more complex application (web, mobile, game, etc.). To get started, we will create a console application, which is the simplest type of program that we can make. The good news is that most of the topics covered in this series are reusable across all types of programs.

Furthermore, .NET and C# allow you to create a wide variety of programs and target most markets, from web to mobile to smart TVs. I believe this is a good choice of technology to start with.

Beforehand, let’s look at the prerequisites.

That’s official today, my book, An Atypical ASP.NET Core 5 Design Patterns Guide, is published; no more preordering! I’m thrilled to share this with you, and I hope you will love it. What a journey it was; I’m telling you!

But are you ready to begin your SOLID adventure into architectural principles, design patterns, .NET 5, and C# and learn about the following topics?

Are you wondering what’s An Atypical ASP.NET Core 5 Design Patterns Guide is all about? Here I’ll list as much information as possible, from the highlights to the journey, passing by the list of patterns, architectural styles, and other stuff covered in the book.

During the summer of 2018, I began writing a book outline with Packt. At first, the goal was a 320-350 pages hands-on book about ASP.NET Core design patterns. Two years and a half later, we have 750+ pages. I can say that I learned many things during that period and that writing a book is way different from what I initially thought.

In this article, we explore how to use VS Code on Windows and use the Linux file system to watch for changes in an improved dev workflow that I described recently in the first article about this subject.

Craig Loewen tweeted me a comment that lead to this even better solution, fixing the same problem and fixing the only drawback that I found. Good thing that one of my 2020 resolution is to use Twitter more!

That said, we still use a Jekyll project, Windows 10, WSL2, Ubuntu 18.04, and Visual Studio Code. We still can apply the same technique to webpack, gulp, or any projects that require watching the file system for changes. We still benefit from a significant speed boost when running commands, like build, of up to 375% (and maybe more)! But we also get all of the VS Code tooling to work (like the Git).
