Command line interfaces were first introduced over 50 years ago, but they are still relevant and commonly used because they work and you'll quite frequently find that you need to work with text in some form. In this course, you'll learn how work with and compile a command line interface and examine the characteristics of a console application and the .NET Console class. You'll learn how to build a console application, as well as how to use the Console class WriteLine, Write, and ReadLine methods. You'll explore how to adjust the development environment in Visual Studio and how to run a C# console application. In C#, working with text involves the String class, so you'll also learn how to perform some basic operations with text. You'll examine the String class, how to define and initialize string variables, and how to manipulate strings. You'll learn the differences between a string and a String object, how to recognize null strings and empty strings, and how to work with composite strings. This course was originally created by Global Knowledge (GK).
