Introduction

The goal of this course is to provide students with the knowledge and skills they need to develop C# applications for the Microsoft .NET Platform. The course focuses on C# program structure, language syntax, and implementation details.

C# was created to be the programming language best suited for writing enterprise applications for .NET. C# combines the high productivity of Microsoft Visual Basic® with the raw power of C++. It is a simple, object-oriented, and type-safe programming language that is based on the C and C++ family of languages.

Audience

This course is intended for experienced developers who already have programming experience in C, C++, Visual Basic, or Java. These developers will be likely to develop enterprise business solutions.

At Course Completion

After completing this course, students will be able to:

• List the major elements of the .NET Framework and explain how C# fits into the .NET Platform.
• Analyze the basic structure of a C# application and be able to document, debug, compile, and run a simple application.
• Create, name, and assign values to variables.
• Use common statements to implement flow control, looping, and exception handling.
• Create methods (functions and subroutines) that can return values and take parameters.
• Create, initialize, and use arrays.
• Explain the basic concepts and terminology of object-oriented programming.
• Use common objects and reference types.
• Create, initialize, and destroy objects in a C# application.
• Build new C# classes from existing classes.
• Create self-contained classes and frameworks in a C# application.
• Define operators, use delegates, and add event specifications.
• Implement properties and indexers.
• Use predefined and custom attributes.

Prerequisites

Before attending this course, students must have:

• Experience with programming in C, C++, Visual Basic, Java, or another programming language.

Microsoft Software Assurance

What is Software Assurance?

Software Assurance (SA) provides an easy way for Microsoft's Volume Licensing customers to stay current with the latest and most innovative Microsoft products. Under the SA program, customers acquire the right to install any new release of products covered in the agreement during the term of their coverage. Companies can acquire tomorrow's technology at today's prices and have the ability to spread payments annually instead of paying up front. Visit www.microsoft.com/licensing to learn more about Microsoft's licensing programs.

What is the SA Enhancement Offering?

The SA Enhancement Offering is designed to increase customer satisfaction by giving customers more value from Software Assurance and a better Microsoft product experience. The Enhancement Offering contains tools, training, and support as well as additional licensing benefits which meet different customer needs across product segments and across customer segments. The many benefits include:

• Training vouchers redeemable
• Employee Purchase Program
• Home Use Program
• Problem Resolution Support
• TechNet Subscription
• Technology & Tools

What is the Software Assurance (SA) Training Voucher Program?

Qualifying organizations that purchase Software Assurance receive training credits from Microsoft. Each training credit is worth the equivalent of one day of training at Networking Technologies™. Customers can redeem these credits for SA Training Vouchers for select Microsoft courses from «Networking Technologies»™.

How to Get Started?

Contact the individual in your organization responsible for software purchases to verify that you purchased volume licensing with Software Assurance. We can help you activate your benefits and administer the training vouchers. To register for a training contact Education Center «Networking Technologies»™ directly via e-mail edu@tex.kiev.ua
