C# Programming in the .NET Framework

6 days
50150B - Version:2.3
Description
This six-day instructor-led course provides students with the knowledge and skills to develop applications in the .NET Framework using the C# programming language. C# is one of the most popular programming languages in existence, and the recent revisions introduce new productivity, performance, and convenience features into the language. This course features an overview of all language-related features, as well as an introduction to general .NET Framework features such as garbage collection, assembly loading, Reflection, Language-Integrated Query (LINQ), Asynchronous prgramming and many others.
Intended audience
This course is intended for developers with good knowledge of object-oriented principles and practical experience of at least 6 months with an object-oriented programming language (C++ preferred).
