C# Developer
Course Code: C-SHARP
Duration: 5 days
C# Developer Course Overview
The C# Developer course comprises sessions dealing with C# applications, variables and operators, decision and loop constructs, arrays, enums, methods, objects, classes, structs, delegates, events, object-oriented principles, exception handling, file IO, LINQ.
Exercises and examples are used throughout the course to give practical hands-on experience with the techniques covered.
Course Objectives
This course aims to provide the delegate with the knowledge to be able to produce simple C# applications that exploit the core elements of the language including variables, expressions, selection and iteration, arrays, methods, classes and objects, structs, encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism, exceptions, file IO and LINQ.
Who will the Course Benefit?
This course is aimed at anyone who wants to learn C# as a first language and developers who want to migrate to C# from another language, particularly those with little or no object-oriented knowledge.
Skills Gained
The delegate will learn and acquire skills as follows:
- Writing, compiling, and executing simple C# applications
- Understanding the relationship between C# and .NET
- Declaring and initialising variables
- Constructing expressions using relational, arithmetic and logical operators
- Constructing decision and loop statements
- Constructing and manipulating arrays and enums
- Declaring and invoking methods using both parameters and return values
- Creating classes, objects and structs
- Encapsulating data
- Implementing a hierarchical application design using inheritance
- Exploiting polymorphism
- Creating generic collections
- Using delegates and events
- Constructing simple lambda expressions
- Throwing and catching exceptions
- Reading and writing files
- Using Language Integrated Query (LINQ)

Requirements
Delegates attending this course should have some previous programming experience and be able to define general programming concepts including compilation, execution, variables, arrays, sequence, selection and iteration, navigate the filesystem (on the command line ideally), edit and save text files and browse the web. This knowledge can be obtained by attendance on the pre-requisite Introduction to Programming course.

Course Reviews
I feel the course is perfect to get fundamental of C#. Brian is very professional and knowledgeable. Covered all fundamental with very nice practical exercises and tips. Special thanks to Brian.
Saurabh - Developer - IT - September 2023
Brian was excellent in providing detailed, yet simultaneously concise and to the point tuition. The course pace and structure was excellent, and his light hearted approach and ability to adapt to differing existing team knowledge was commendable. Thoroughly recommended!
Jake - Data Services Manager - IT - February 2023
I found the course extremely useful both practically and also theoretically.
Jan - Senior Risk Analyst - Finance
Brian was an excellent instructor, it was clear that he had an exceptional knowledge of both the history and the workings of the C# language and OO coding in general and was able to provide many useful practical examples to reinforce the concepts he was explaining. I am eager to attend a more advanced course in this language provided by Brian in the future when one becomes available.
Liam - Software developer - Transport
It helped me understand OOPS concepts better. Refactoring case Study exercise after each concept helped in implementing the concept better.
Rashmi - Application Developer - Finance
Very good and enjoyable course, have used C# beforehand but learnt some good things - delegates, lamdas, serialization & especially LINQ.
