Next Steps

Learn C# without starting from scratch. Your PowerShell experience is your superpower — use it.

Same Logic, Different Syntax

You already understand filtering, transforming, and working with collections. C# just writes it differently.

PowerShell What you know 
# Get users from AD and filter
$users = Get-ADUser -Filter * -Properties *

$activeUsers = $users | Where-Object 
    $_.Enabled -eq $true -and
    $_.LastLogonDate -gt (Get-Date).AddDays(-30)


$activeUsers | Select-Object Name, Email
C# What you'll learn 
// Same logic, just different syntax!
var users = GetADUsers();

var activeUsers = users
    .Where(u =>
        u.Enabled == true &&
        u.LastLogonDate > DateTime.Now.AddDays(-30)
    );

var result = activeUsers.Select(u => new  u.Name, u.Email );
Why This Approach

Your Experience Matters

Most C# courses assume you're a beginner. You're not. You've been programming — just in a different language.

Leverage What You Know

Your PowerShell knowledge isn't starting from scratch. Pipelines become LINQ, cmdlets become methods, and scripts become applications.

Side-by-Side Comparisons

See PowerShell and C# code solving the same problems. Understand the patterns you already use, just with different syntax.

Practical Projects

Build real tools you'd actually use: CLI apps, automation utilities, and services that solve the problems you already know.

Beyond Scripting

Learn when to reach for C# instead of PowerShell. Build compiled applications, APIs, and tools that integrate with your scripts.

The Learning Path

From Scripts to Applications

A structured journey that builds on what you know, introducing new concepts alongside familiar patterns.

01

The Familiar Unfamiliar

  • Variables and types (you already know this)
  • From cmdlets to methods
  • Objects all the way down
02

Collections & Pipelines

  • Arrays, Lists, and Dictionaries
  • LINQ: PowerShell's Where-Object grew up
  • ForEach vs foreach vs .ForEach()
03

Building Real Applications

  • Console apps with System.CommandLine
  • Working with files and the filesystem
  • Calling your existing scripts from C#
04 Coming Soon

APIs & Web Services

  • From Invoke-RestMethod to HttpClient
  • Building your own REST API
  • JSON without ConvertFrom-Json
05 Coming Soon

Advanced Patterns

  • Async/await (like Start-Job but better)
  • Error handling beyond try/catch
  • Dependency injection explained
06 Coming Soon

The Full Stack Scripter

  • PowerShell modules written in C#
  • When to use which language
  • Building your toolkit
