C# Programming

C# Programming Course Overview

The C# Programming 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, database access, LINQ and deployment.

Exercises and examples are used throughout the course to give practical hands-on experience with the techniques covered.

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)
• Connecting to databases
• Deploying applications

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.

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, LINQ and deployment.

Requirements

Delegates attending this course should be able to define general programming concepts including compilation and 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.

Pre-Requisite Courses

• Introduction to Programming

• Course technical content is subject to change without notice.
• Course content is structured as sessions, this does not strictly map to course timings. Concepts, content and practicals often span sessions.
