55339AC: Programming in C# Training

• •Should have prior experience in programming in high-level language or have undertaken the 55337AC course

Microsoft .NET 6 provides a comprehensive development platform that you can use to build, deploy and manage applications and services. By using .NET, you can create visually compelling applications, enable seamless communication across technology boundaries and provide support for a wide range of business processes.

In this module, you’ll learn about some of the core features provided by .NET and Microsoft Visual Studio. You’ll also learn about some of the core C# constructs that enable you to start developing .NET applications.

Lessons:

• •Lesson 1: Writing Applications in C# and .NET
• •Lesson 2: Types of Data and Expressions
• •Lesson 3: C# Language Constructs

After completing this module, students will be able to:

• •Write Applications in C# and .NET
• •Explain types of Data and Expressions
• •Understand C# Language Constructs

Applications often consist of logical units of functionality that perform specific functions, such as providing access to data or triggering some logical processing. C# is an object-oriented language and uses the concept of methods to encapsulate logical units of functionality. Although a good practice is to have methods that do just one thing, they can be as simple or as complex as you like. It is also important to consider what happens to the state of your application when an exception occurs in a method.

Lessons:

• •Lesson 1: Methods
• •Lesson 2: Method Overloading
• •Lesson 3: Exception Handling
• •Lesson 4: Monitoring

After completing this module, students will be able to:

• •Learn how to create and use methods and how to handle exceptions. You’ll also learn how to use logging and tracing to record the details of any exceptions that occur

To create effective applications, you must first learn some fundamental C# constructs. You will need to know how to create simple structures to represent the data items you are working with. You will need to know how to organize these structures into collections, so that you can add items, retrieve items, and iterate over your items. Finally, you will need to know how to subscribe to events so that you can respond to the actions of your users.

Lessons:

• •Lesson 1: Structs
• •Lesson 2: Enums
• •Lesson 3: Built-in Collections
• •Lesson 4: Events

After completing this module, students will be able to:

• •Create and use structs and enums
• •Organize data into collections
• •Create and subscribe to events

In this module, you’ll learn how to use interfaces and classes to define and create your own custom, reusable types. You’ll also learn how to create and use enumerable type-safe collections of any type.

Lessons:

• •Lesson 1: Creating Classes
• •Lesson 2: Interfaces
• •Lesson 3: Understanding Generics in C#

After completing this module, students will be able to:

• •Use interfaces and classes to define and create custom, reusable types
• •Create and use enumerable type-safe collections of any type

In this module, you’ll learn how to use inheritance to create class hierarchies and to extend .NET types.

Lessons:

• •Lesson 1: Hierarchies of Classes
• •Lesson 2: Polymorphism
• •Lesson 3: Extending Classes

After completing this module, students will be able to:

• •Use inheritance to factor common functionality into a base class
• •Implement polymorphism by using an abstract method
• •Create a custom exception class

In this module, you’ll learn how to read and write data by using transactional filesystem I/O operations, how to serialize and deserialize data to the filesystem, and how to read and write data to the filesystem by using streams.

Lessons:

• •Lesson 1: File I/O
• •Lesson 2: Serialization and Deserialization
• •Lesson 3: Streams

After completing this module, students will be able to:

• •Read and write data by using transaction filesystem I/O operations
• •How to serialize and deserialize data to the file system
• •How to read and write data to the filesystem by using streams

In this module, you’ll learn how to use Entity Framework and how to query many types of data by using Language-Integrated Query (LINQ).

Lessons:

• •Lesson 1: Entity Framework
• •Lesson 2: LINQ

After completing this module, students will be able to:

• •Use entity Framework
• •Learn how to query many types of data by using Language-Integrated Query (LINQ)

In this module, you’ll learn how to use the request and response classes in the System.Net namespace to directly manipulate remote data sources. You’ll also learn about REST and OData and look briefly at ASP.NET Core MVC.

Lessons:

• •Lesson 1: Web Services
• •Lesson 2: REST and OData
• •Lesson 3: ASP.NET Core MVC

After completing this module, students will be able to:

• •Send data to remote web services
• •Access remote data over web services
• •Understand REST and OData

In this module, you’ll learn how to use Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) to create engaging UIs.

Lessons:

• •Lesson 1: Using UI Frameworks
• •Lesson 2: Data binding
• •Lesson 3: Styling the UI

After completing this module, students will be able to:

• •Use Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML)
• •Create and use user controls
• •Use styles and animations

In this module, you’ll learn how to improve the performance of your applications by distributing your operations across multiple threads.

Lessons:

• •Lesson 1: Multitasking
• •Lesson 2: Asynchronous Calls
• •Lesson 3: Dealing with Conflicts

After completing this module, students will be able to:

• •Improve performance by distributing operations across multiple threads
• •Use the async and await keywords to implement asynchronous methods
• •Use events and user controls to provide visual feedback during long-running operations

In this module, you’ll learn how to interoperate with unmanaged code in your applications and how to ensure that your code releases any unmanaged resources.
