C# Programming

Set of 8 CD-ROMs: $1,095

This course begins with an overview of C# and the .NET platform. In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of the C# language including how to set up the application development environment and how to write your first simple C# applications. You will learn about variables and constants, expressions and statements, operators and namespaces. Most important, you will learn how to create classes and instantiate objects.

Then, you will learn the three pillars of object oriented programming: Inheritance, Polymorphism and Encapsulation and see how these ideas are implemented in C# classes. You値l examine the difference between classes, structs and interfaces. Along the way you値l also learn about Arrays and the C# collection classes, as well as string manipulation and the use of regular expressions. This course also covers how to use Delegates and Events to build event-driven applications with C#. You will use these skills to build interactive Windows Applications with C#.

This course will provide a solid foundation for exploring the .NET framework as well as advanced topics in C#.

You will learn how to manipulate databases using ADO.NET. Additionally, you will learn how to use C# to develop ASP.NET applications. With this knowledge you値l be able to build interactive web sites (Web Forms) as well as Web Services, which have no User Interface but which provide information to other applications through Web protocols such as HTTP and SOAP.

Then, you will use C# to explore both intrinsic and custom attributes, and you will learn how to interact with attributes programmatically using Reflection. You値l explore threads and synchronization issues, and you値l use streams to read and write data both to your local machine and across the network and the Internet. Finally, you値l explore interoperability with legacy COM objects such as ActiveX controls and COM components.

 

Who should take this course? Programmers, Architects, and Development Managers responsible for creating enterprise applications using the Java Language.
