Summary

Today you learned the basics of the Visual Basic .NET and C# languages. You learned about variables, how to declare them, and what access modifiers you can use to set the scope of a variable in your applications. You also learned about the common operators that you'll use in all your applications. You finished by learning the basics of decision structures, and how each type of decision structure differs based on the task you're trying to accomplish.

Today's lesson is by no means a reference on the Visual Basic .NET or C# language—there's much more to learn. As you work through this week and next, you'll learn more as you go along, so use today as a starting point in becoming familiar with the syntax and slight differences between C# and Visual Basic .NET.
