The C# Programming Language Training in Ilulissat

This intensive course is intended for developers who will use C# to write .NET Framework applications and who are relatively new to the C# programming language.

Delegates looking to migrate their existing Java and/or C skills to C# should attend our QAJAVCSMIG - Migrating to C# for Java and C developers.

At the end of this The C# Programming Language Training in Ilulissat, attendees will have an understanding of the following:

• Write code that includes sequence, selection and iteration constructs
• Create and use classes and structures (types), including fields, properties and methods
• Use private, internal, protected and public visibility modifiers
• Use exception-handling to create robust applications
• Create derived classes that inherit from custom-written or .NET Framework classes
• Create interfaces and apply techniques of polymorphism effectively and appropriately
• Work with generic types
• Leverage the power of C# features
• Use delegates
• Understand the event handling paradigm
• Use lambda expressions in C# code
• Use LINQ (Language Integrated Query)
• Efficiently manage resources

Module 1: Introduction to Object Orientation

• This ensures all delegates have a grounding in the principles of Object Orientation.

Module 2: OO and C Sharp

• Get started on how C# implements Object Orientation

Module 3: Introduction to .NET Visual Studio & C#

Module 4: Syntax I

• Procedures and statements; Data types; Declaring variables; Assignments
• Conversion; Arithmetic and other operators
• Flow of control constructs
• Passing parameters by value, by reference, named and optional parameters

Module 5: Syntax 2

• Type concepts; Classes; Reference types
• Fields, properties and methods

Module 7: Inheritance & Polymorphism

• Concept of inheritance; Substitutability; Extending a simple class
• 'virtual', 'override' and 'sealed' modifiers

Module 10: Generic Delegates

• Using the framework-supplied generic delegates

Module 11: LINQ

• The language features behind LINQ
• The LINQ API and query pattern
• Grouping and Joins

Module 12: Handling Exceptions

• Errors vs. Exceptions
• The 'try', 'catch', 'finally' paradigm
• Using 'throw'
• Creating your own exceptions
• 'checked' and 'unchecked' expressions.

Module 13: Consuming Events

• Understanding events in .NET
• Writing event handlers

Module 14: Producing Events

• The event conventions
• Raising custom events

Module 15: Garbage Collection

• Garbage collection and its impact
• Finalizers; The 'Dispose' pattern; IDisposable
• The 'using' statement

Module 16: Reverse Engineer

• At the end of the course we reverse-engineer the resultant code and compare the results to the Class Diagram we produced near the beginning of the course.

Module 17: The Way Ahead

• Review

Appendix Module A: LINQ to Xml

• Producing and consuming XML using LINQ
