C# Programming: Hands-On

Course: 419   Type: Hands-On   Duration: 4 Days
Quick Enrol  

You Will Learn How To

  • Create, compile and run C# programs using Visual Studio 2008
  • Write and understand C# language constructs, syntax and semantics
  • Leverage the namespaces and classes of the .NET Framework
  • Develop reusable .NET components using interface realisation
  • Access databases using ADO.NET and Language Integrated Query (LINQ)
  • Produce programs in C# for desktop and distributed multitier applications

Course Benefits
C# is a modern, object-oriented programming language intended to create simple yet robust programs. Designed specifically to take advantage of CLI features, C# is the core language of the Microsoft .NET framework. In this course, you gain the skills to exploit the capabilities of C# and of the .NET Framework to develop programs useful for a broad range of desktop and Web applications.

Who Should Attend
Anyone interested in programming in C#. Experience with a modern language such as VB, Java, Pascal or C/C++ is assumed. Those with only COBOL, RPG, SQL, HTML or similar experience should consider taking Course 502, "Programming with .NET Introduction".

Hands-on Training
You gain experience creating your own C# application. Hands-on exercises include:
  • Writing and compiling C# programs using Visual Studio 2008
  • Building C# classes and inheritance hierarchies
  • Writing desktop and Web applications with Windows Forms and Web Forms
  • Constructing and deploying custom .NET components
  • Implementing data-query logic for databases using LINQ
  • Accelerating development with the .NET Framework library
