C# Programming Level 2: Advanced Programming Techniques

Overview In this C# training course, students already familiar with C# programming will learn advanced C# techniques. _ This advanced C# course is taught using C# 8. Prerequisites Students should have experience with C# and working knowledge of the skills covered in ` C# Programming Level 1: Introduction for Non-Programmers .
_ Specifically, you should know: - 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 - How to write selection statements and loops - Generic programming and working with collections - Tools for processing data with C# - Error handling COURSE OUTLINE 1 Advanced Topics Delegates and events Delegates Events Anonymous types Tuples The Tuple class Value tuples Pattern matching The is expression The switch expression Regular expressions Overview Matching input text Finding substrings Replacing parts of a text Extension methods 2 Resource Management Garbage collection Finalizers The IDisposable interface The using statement Platform invoke Unsafe code 3 Lambdas, LINQ, and Functional Programming Functional programming Functions as first-class citizens Lambda expressions LINQ Standard query operators Query syntax Currying Closures Monoids Monads 4 Reflection and Dynamic Programming Understanding reflection Dynamically loading assemblies Understanding late binding Using the dynamic type Attributes System attributes User-defined attributes How to use attributes? Attribute targets Assembly attributes Attributes in reflection 5 Multithreading and Asynchronous Programming What is a thread? Creating threads in .NET Using the ThreadPool class Understanding synchronization primitives The task paradigm Synchronous implementations of asynchronous methods Occasionally asynchronous methods Breaking the task chain – blocking the thread Manually creating a task Long-running tasks Breaking the task chain – fire and forget Task and exceptions Canceling a task Monitoring the progress of a task Parallelizing tasks Signaling tasks with the TaskCompletionSource object Synchronization context 6 Unit Testing What is unit testing? What are Microsoft tools for unit testing?
