In this hands-on instructor-led C# OOP course, developers learn the fundamental skills that are required to design and develop object-oriented applications (OOP) for the Web and Microsoft Windows using Microsoft Visual C# .NET 2010 and the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET development environment. Fully covers all the new features in C# 3.0 and C# 4.0.
This object oriented C# training course is offered in two flavors – a 3 day version for programmers experienced in another object oriented language such as C++, Java, or Delphi, and a 5 day version for less experienced programmers who are not familiar with object-oriented design and programming, and for Developers moving to C# as their first fully object-oriented language. Programmers with a background in Visual Basic and COBOL, for example, will want to take the slower paced more introductory 5 day course where the fundamental topics of classes, objects, and inheritance are covered in detail. The 5 day version is intended to be fully accessible to programmers who do not already have a strong background in object-oriented programming. The 3 day version covers the same topics but at a much faster pace where the more introductory topics are just reviewed and the syntax covered, and differences between C# and other OOP languages are discussed.
This is a fully hands-on C# training course. After each major topic is introduced students undertake short exercises to ensure they understand the important principles. This C# training course cover all the object oriented topics you need to understand to develop using C# with the .NET framework – using existing classes, writing your own classes, using inheritance, utilizing and implementing interfaces, polymorphism, the standard .NET interfaces, how to work with generics, and an introduction to design patterns. C# as a language is elegant and powerful. But to utilize its capabilities fully, you need to have a good understanding of how it works with the .NET Framework. The course explores several important interactions between C# and the .NET Framework; how to implement standard interfaces, how to use the built-in classes for collections, and delegates and events. It includes a succinct introduction to creating GUI programs using Windows Forms. It discusses memory management and the garbage collector, the consequences on destructors, and how to work with iDisposable.
