Target Audience

Top

Developers who:

  • Want to gain in-depth knowledge of the core C# language
  • Need a fast introduction to the .NET platform architecture
  • Would like an overview of how to navigate the .NET Framework class library

 

Course Objectives

Top
  • Examine core language features such as types, variables, and control constructs
  • Use object-oriented features such as class, interface, protection, and inheritance
  • Perform error notification and error handling using exceptions
  • Use properties to implement the private data/public accessor pattern
  • Use namespaces to group related types
  • Use delegates and events to implement callbacks
  • Override Object class methods such as ToString
  • Avoid dll conflicts during deployment
  • Use dynamic binding and polymorphism to write generic code (i.e., less code!)
  • Distinguish between "implementation inheritance" and "interface inheritance"
  • Use ADO.NET to connect to SQL Server and run a simple query
  • Build a basic Windows Forms GUI

Course Prerequisites

Top
  • Working knowledge of at least one other high–level language.

Note: The difficulty level is ideal for programmers coming from languages like VB6, Pascal, or C. Individuals with a mainframe or scripting background will find the course very challenging—you should study an introductory programming text before attending. If you have some C++ or Java experience, some material will be familiar, but the course will still be beneficial. Experienced C++ or Java programmers should move directly to Essential .NET.
