This comprehensive course is a practical introduction to programming in C# utilizing the services provided by .NET. Current to Visual Studio 2012 or 2013 and .NET 4.5.1, this customizable course reviews critical features such as dynamic data type, named and optional arguments, the use of variance in generic interfaces and asynchronous programming keywords. A supplement covers the fundamentals of Language Integrated Query (LINQ).
As the name implies, this course teaches C# programming from an object-oriented perspective. Because it is often difficult for programmers initially training in a procedural language to start ͞thinking in objects,͟ this course introduces object-oriented concepts early and features a case study to illustrate the creation a complete system using C# and .NET.
Course Duration:
5 Days
Prerequisites:
Participants should be experienced application developers or architects. Some background in object-oriented programming is also helpful.
