Programming the .NET Framework 4.5

5 days
50483A - Version:3
Description
This five-day instructor-led course provides students with the knowledge and skills to develop applications with the .NET Framework 4.5. Developing applications for the .NET Framework 4.5 requires familiarity with fundamental mechanisms such as Garbage Collection, Serialization, Streams and Application Domains; integrating these applications into solutions written using other programming languages requires Interoperability; taking advantage of the latest hardware requires Multithreading and Asynchronous Programming. These skills are also required for taking advantage of application frameworks on top of the core CLR such as Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), Language Integrated Query (LINQ) and others. The course is packed with practical code samples, demos and exercises to facilitate understanding the covered features from a .NET perspective, as well as from a more holistic system-oriented point of view.
Intended audience
This course is intended for developers with working knowledge of the C# 3.0 programming language.
