99 Bottles of Learning to Code on the Wall (Book)

Course Summary

99 Bottles of Learning to Code on the Wall is a beginner-friendly introduction to programming using C# and a single evolving program as its foundation.

Instead of jumping between disconnected examples, this book starts with a simple console app that prints the "99 Bottles" song and gradually transforms it-introducing variables, decisions, loops, methods, and basic structure one step at a time.

Written for adults who are new to coding or returning after a long break, the book focuses on building mental models, reducing overwhelm, and showing how small changes compound into real programs. No prior programming experience is required-just curiosity and patience.
