* Required Fields

In this course you will apply C# extended features, including definitive coverage Language Integrated Query (LINQ), to streamline the use of C# as both an object-oriented and a first-class data-manipulation language. C# is layered on top of Microsoft’s highly successful .NET Framework. With the advent of Core, the extra dimensions of portability and openness have been added. To effectively leverage the integration of programs with both .NET Framework and Core, use of different language features are required including specialised C# keywords, advanced lambda expressions, extension methods, generic classes and delegates, universal functions, and anonymous types. In particular, to optimise data access, productivity, and overall application performance.

  • Knowledge at the level of:
  • You should know how to:
    • Construct, compile, and execute C# Windows Forms and/or Web applications using the Visual Studio integrated environment
    • Design and implement a modestly complex (1000+ lines) program in the C# language
    • Apply solid object-oriented development techniques, including encapsulation, inheritance, interfaces, and polymorphism
    • Produce applications that employ key parts of the .NET framework library

  • This course uses Visual Studio 2019, but is useful to those using an earlier version
