Intermediate C# | Patterns, Generics, Threading, Database, Entity Framework, UI & More

Developing Application in C# is a lab-intensive, hands-on exploration of core skills and techniques used for advanced level C# application development.  Working in a hands-on programming environment urse is designed to take C# programmers to the next level with in-depth coverage of C# and .Net features for application development. In this course, the student will learn about robust programming concepts necessary to write and maintain quality applications.  In addition, the student will be introduced to UI options as well as database connectivity using ADO.Net as well as and introduction to Entity Framework. 

This “skills-centric” course is about 50% hands-on lab and 50% lecture, designed to train attendees in core OO coding and C# .Net development skills, coupling the most current, effective techniques with the soundest industry practices. Throughout the course students will be led through a series of progressively advanced topics, where each topic consists of lecture, group discussion, comprehensive hands-on lab exercises, and lab review.

Working in a hands-on learning environment, guided by our expert team, attendees will learn to:

• Design and implement classes that adhere to SOLID design principles
• Understand common design patterns
• Implement robust classes with properties, methods, delegates & events
• Understand, use, and implement generics
• Explore generics in the .Net Framework
• Understand and use Language integrated Query (LiNQ)
• Understand and use Lambda expressions
• Build dynamic applications using reflection
• Use internationalization to build world friendly applications
• Build multithreaded applications
• Understand the basics of database access
