Overview
In this live, instructor-led training course, students who already have a programming background will learn to program in C#. Attendees will learn: how C# works and its place in the world of programming languages; its relationship with the Common Language Infrastructure and .NET Framework; C# data types and operators; to write selection statements and loops; generic programming and working with collections; processing data; and error handling. This C# course is taught using C# 8.
Audience
Students new to the C# language who already have experience with other programming languages.
Prerequisites
This course is specially designed for individuals with prior programming background. You should also have a working knowledge of Object Oriented Programming concepts. If you have no prior programming experience or are not familiar with Object Oriented Programming, you should consider our "C# Programming Level 1: Introduction for Non-Programmers" course instead.
