Build practical C# and .NET 10 projects – from games and web apps to AI chatbots and machine learning tools – while learning modern patterns, libraries, and workflows.

Key Features

Learn by building practical .NET applications for real-world use
Develop cross-platform apps, games, web APIs, and AI integrations
Master new C# and .NET features through creative, hands-on projects
Too many C# developers feel stuck building the same apps day in and day out, but learning through side projects can reignite your passion and level up your skills. This book offers a practical, hands-on approach to building confidence with .NET 10 and modern C# by building a variety of engaging applications, from interactive games and productivity tools to machine learning apps and browser-based chatbots.

These projects are designed to teach practical patterns and modern tooling, with a focus on learning and experimentation over production hardening. You’ll work with tools like Spectre.Console, ML.NET, Uno Platform, and more, developing everything from an adventure game and a card tracker to an AI chatbot. You’ll also build modern AI-enabled systems using Ollama, Microsoft Agent Framework, OpenTelemetry, and Aspire.

Written by an experienced C# engineer and teacher, this book blends technical depth with a developer-friendly tone, helping you learn faster and retain more. You’ll sharpen your understanding of core .NET capabilities and gain confidence to apply them in your own work or hobby projects.

By the end of this book, you’ll not only have a portfolio of practical .NET apps – you’ll also have grown as a developer and rediscovered the joy of programming.
