In this hands-on introduction to C# training course, you’ll gain a comprehensive introductory coverage of C# as an object-oriented programming language for application development. You will obtain practical experience using C# and learn how to leverage the .NET Framework Library to quickly produce production-level programs.
In this C# training course, you will gain the programming skills needed to create applications using the C# language. You will learn the basics of C# program structure, language syntax, and implementation details. Use of C# in all three tiers is discussed (user interface, business logic and data access) with focus on proper object-oriented coding.
This course is an introduction to C# but not an introduction to computer programming. Experience using a modern procedural language, such as Visual Basic, Pascal, Java, or C/C++ is needed. It is not a sufficient prerequisite if you have only used SQL and/or HTML. Attendees require understanding of concepts such as data types, variables, declarations, conditionals, loops, expressions, functions, parameter passing, and procedural language flow.
For those without the pre-requisite background, Introduction to .NET Programming Training is recommended. For those who already have fundamental knowledge of C# should take {Course:8476}.
This course uses the Visual Studio 2017 Professional, but is useful to those using an earlier versions. Although it also uses C# V6, careful annotation of version-specific features makes the course useful to those using earlier versions of the language.
You'll be given remote access to a preconfigured virtual machine for you to redo your hands-on exercises, develop/test new code, and experiment with the same software used in your course.
