C# Programming with Visual Studio
Course Length: 4 Days
Course Description
The C# Programming with Visual Studio course provides developers with the skills and knowledge they'll need to succeed by providing an in-depth and hands-on analysis of different parts of the C# language. Techniques for maximizing productivity using Visual Studio are also covered such as code snippets, debugging techniques, visual database queries, and more.
The course begins by providing a look at the different components of the .NET Framework and .NET Core and discusses the basic building blocks of the C# language including variables, conditionals and looping. Next, Object-oriented features found in C# are discussed so that students understand how to leverage concepts such as inheritance, method overriding, interfaces, and object hierarchies. The course also shows several of the exciting language features available in C# including lambda expressions and LINQ to Objects. Other topics covered include and introductory look at data access technologies.
This course is taught by Dan Wahlin (a member of the Microsoft MVP and Regional Directors groups).
