.NET training
.NET Training Overview
This course is designed to expose experienced software developers to the C# programming language and the core APIs of the .NET platform. The course will begin by exposing attendees to the syntax and semantics of the C# programming language and Object Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts. Students will gain an understanding of the .NET type system (classes, structure, enums, interfaces and delegates), assembly configuration, file IO operations and the role of type metadata. Once the foundational topics have been addressed, the remainder of the class will introduce the role of Windows Forms, ADO.NET, and ASP.NET.
.NET Training Audience:
Experienced software developers
.NET Training Prerequisites
Familiarity with the Windows XP/Windows Vista OS and experience using graphical IDEs to build and debug software application. Some exposure to OOP concepts is recommended but not required.
