My name is Anish. I'm a professional programmer for an Investment Bank with 3 years of experience in .NET programming in a financial background. I'm looking to run this course to give something back to the community and also to enhance my teaching ability.
Learning to program from scratch today is harder than it's ever been. The amount of information thrown at a beginner is simply staggering. When I started to learn to program, I was amazed at the sheer volume of things that I had to learn (and still have to learn), but perhaps by taking part in this course, I'll help guide you through your first steps away where the road is it's hardest. I want to do this because I can remember the pain of being a beginner and struggling to understand stuff while working full time. It would have been a lot easier for me if someone was there to teach me the basics, and that's what I intend on doing.
Introduction to programming:
- What is computer programming?
- What tools are available to us?
- What can I do with computer programming?
- Idea of variables, functions and processes.
Introduction to C#:
- Semantics of the language.
- Simple applications.
- Object oriented programming (Inheritance, Polymorphism)
Building a Human Resources admin program
- Data access
- Windows programming
By the end of this course, you should:
Understand the basics of programming.
Understand and use the .NET platform using the C# language.
Be able to build simple windows applications that talk to databases.
Feel confident to know where to go to improve your learning and understanding of programming, in particular the .NET platform in C#

I would divide up into
I would divide up into categories those who get paid 20-25 and 25-30 and 30-35, etc and pay each individual (based on the group they are in) for that degree of work. If all 100 employees do the same job/work then I would evenly divide the money.
I think that the given
I think that the given numbers allow to calculate a proportion between bonuses and wages, which is (400 / 20 000) * 100 = 2%. Alternatively (2%) * 2 500 000 = 50 000, so we also know that the bonuses budget is in the same relation to the company's wage bill and stands @ mere 2%.
Each employee deserves the
Each employee deserves the percentage of his wage to company's wage bill (wich is £2.500.000), multiplied by the the bonus budget wich is £50,000. For example if a employee is paid £20.000 the his wage is 0.8% of the company's wage bill. If £50.000(bonus badget)*0.8%(percentange of employees wage to the company's wage bill) = £400. To find the percentange just divide each employees wage to the company's wage bill and then multiply by 100.
For example 20000/2500000 = 0.008 and then 0.008*100=0.8%.
That makes sense, I totally
That makes sense. Lol
I would like to take this

A fixed factor would be fixed
A constant factor would be fixed first.
The formula would be something like this :
(pay_of_employee/wage_bill_of_company)*factor = bonus_amount
As seen in the case of given example :
(20,000/2,500,000)*X = 400
so here the factor is found to be 50000.
hey i'm student of computer
hey i'm student of computer science i wanna join this course but don't know how?
when i go to sign up it shows that you are not authorized to join this course ....
i dont know what to do! :(
plz help.....
Hi all, Hopefully you will be
Hi all, Hopefully you will be able to sign up to the course in the next few days. I'll shortly be posting a more detailed course description with week by week goals and learning outcomes.
I'd like to reiterate that this is an 'Introduction to Programming' via C#. If you've never programmed before or done very little Object Oriented Programming, this is the course for you. If you've done a year or more of Java, or C++ at uni, or work you're probably wasting your time.
I look forward to the course starting.
I would give them the same %
I would give them the same % relative to their earnings/bonus wage.
but imho i would put some rules, cause maybe if u do that way, the more who earn the more bonus will get, and i dont think that is completely fair at all.... for me.
Hi! The formula is
Hi! The formula is simple:
Bonus of employee= Wage of employee/2500000)*50000
=Wage of employee/50

I'm like 2nd to attempt and answer the initial q. yet the course is now fU11. Sorry, I just feel so pathetic.
Nice one, thx.
Apologies, but before signup
Apologies, but before signup the instructions clearly said no posting answers as a comment. I can only accept applicants who applied for the course via the proper means. I accepted the first 20 correct applications, so I'm sorry you were unable to get onto the course. What I will say is I'll be posting all the content anyway, so you should be able to follow along.
