Fast Track to C#

Course Overview

C# (pronounced C Sharp) is a modern, object-oriented (OO), general-purpose programming language that is one of the core languages in the .NET framework and in Visual Studio .NET. C# attempts to maintain the power and expressiveness of C++ without the pitfalls and complexities of that language. It enables developers to create a wide range of applications that run on Microsoft's .NET platform.

This course covers everything you need to become productive in C# development. It starts with the basics of C#, including basic syntax and the basics of classes and objects. It goes on to coverage of more complex OO concepts such as inheritance, interfaces, polymorphism , exception handling, delegates and events. It also includes coverage of key parts of the C#.NET framework such as using collections and string handling, and advanced topics such as multithreading and I/O streams.

The course concludes with coverage of some of the core ASP.NET capabilities and how to use them with C#. This includes creating Web Forms, and interacting with databases via ADO.NET. The course includes a comprehensive student manual and hands-on labs where developers have a chance to put all the key concepts into practice.
