I once did a programming test for a job, which involved producing ASCii art in C#. I didn't really do well at this, as I had little idea or experience of doing this in C# (or in any programming knowledge).
Are there any resources or classes in .NET that would be worth knowing/practising on?
Answer
ASCII art is pretty general, but if you want to produce an ASCII banner or heading then I've ported the popular FIGlet font generation to .NET:
https://github.com/drewnoakes/figgle
It's very easy to use, and available on NuGet for almost every version of .NET (netstandard1.3 and above, so .NET Framework as well as .NET Core, Xamarin, etc...).
