Programming
C# Programming
C# as a language is elegant and powerful. But to utilize its capabilities fully, you need to have a good understanding of how it works with the .NET Framework. This course explores several important interactions between C# and the .NET Framework, and it includes an introduction to major classes for collections, delegates, and events. It includes a succinct introduction to creating GUI programs using Windows Forms.
Cumulative graded assessments available for group training.
Duration
40 hours
Audience
This course is intended for developers with programming language experience. This class is not designed for students who are completely new to programming; it is targeted at developers with proficiency in at least one other language (C, Python, Java, etc.).
