"Your courses have given me the confidence to get out of my dead end job and apply for a full time coding job. I am very happy to say that I just finished the job interview and they gave me the job!!!" -Dan Farnell


"Outstanding quality! I have come to learn that all Mosh's courses are top notch. This course is no different! The content is beautifully designed, well organized with great examples, and delivered in a clear and concise manner (with great video and audio quality)! I also loved that this course includes exercises. Fantastic stuff!" -Roger Sæle


"Love it! This guy definitely knows what he's talking about. He strives to make his courses as comprehensive as possible and he teaches you several tricks along the way." -Jeb Watson


"As with all of his courses his passion and love for programming is infectious. He does a great job of intermixing theory with hard examples and cautions with practicality. If you learn better by watching and examples then reading and theory this is a must watch to move beyond the learning the syntax of c#." -Michael Paul


"Excellent course! All of Mosh's courses are very much worth taking if you really want to learn C# in a professional way. Not only does Mosh clearly describe the syntax of the language and explain the language concepts, but he also constantly emphasizes the importance of good programming practices" -Tony Zampini

Interfaces and Extensibility Preview 18:15

I'll show you how we can change an application's behaviour without changing its code, simply by using interfaces as extensibility points. I'll also introduce you to the open-closed principle of object-oriented programming.

Interfaces are NOT for Multiple Inheritance Preview 04:26

One of the common misconceptions about interfaces is that they are used for implementing multiple inheritance. This view is fundamentally wrong yet there are many books, videos and posts that make such claim. In this video I'll explain why interfaces got nothing to do with inheritance, single or multiple.

Interfaces and Polymorphism Preview 11:47

Interfaces provide polymorphic behaviour, which is extremely powerful. In this video, you'll see how we can use an interfaces in a polymorphic way to design a loosely-coupled and extensible application.
