Service-based Database

• Start by building trivial applications that perform simple math calculations (e.g. addition, multiplication, identifying unique numbers in a collection, etc.)
  
• Next, get to know how to process character strings.
  
• Along the way, introduce yourself to the different types of collections (lists, arrays, dictionaries, sets) and see how and where they're used.
  
• Then, take a step into LINQ (Language Integrate Query Language) and see how LINQ makes it easy to do the things you did manually when you started working with collections.
  
• Get to know to read and write files (text files, binary files and compressed files).
  
• Then, introduce yourself to XML serialization and learn how to store and retrieved structured data from an XML file.
  
• Next, discover simple data access from a database and introduce yourself to the basics of SQL.
  
• Dip your toes into the wonderful world of fetching data from the internet and learn how to use the HttpClient class.

As a self taught ameture in c#, I have never found a reason to implement a struct instead of a class.

 

Since I am self taught (No formal education) I would like to know what advantage would be gained by using a struct in lieu of a class? More importantly why when and where would it benefit my programs?
