This is the repository for the LinkedIn Learning .NET Essentials - Strings course. The full course is available from LinkedIn Learning.#
.NET is a mature programming framework used around the world to build applications for every type of project. Our .NET Essentials courses dig deep into a sub-section of .NET, given you a long look at one segment of this ubiquitous framework.
In the world of software development, a string is a series of characters. And regardless of which programming language you're using, it's one of the most important data types you'll be working with. In this course, Walt Ritscher takes a focused look at how to work with the string class in the .NET framework. Walt reviews how to manipulate string content, parse strings, format numeric and date types, and more. Plus, he considers how cultural differences impact strings and shows how to work with the CultureInfo class.

The branches are structured to correspond to the videos in the course. The naming convention is chapter#-video#. As an example, the branch named 02-03 corresponds to the second chapter and the third video in that chapter.
Some branches will have a beginning state (04-01) and an end state (04-01e). The end state videos use e for "end" and contains the code as it is at the end of the video. The master branch holds the the initial state of the course and is not used for exercises during the course.
To use these exercise files, follow the instructions in the course to learn how to work with GitHub content. For this course the instructor uses Visual Studio 2019, any edition is sufficient (Community, Professional, Enterprise).
