Microsoft 55339 - Programming in C#

Course subjects

Module 1: C# Syntax
Microsoft .NET 6 provides a comprehensive development platform that you can use to build, deploy, and manage applications and services. By using .NET, you can create visually compelling applications, enable seamless communication across technology boundaries, and provide support for a wide range of business processes.

In this module, you’ll learn about some of the core features provided by.NET and Microsoft Visual Studio. You’ll also learn about some of the core C# constructs that enable you to start developing .NET applications.

Lessons
Lesson 1: Writing Applications in C# and .NET
Lesson 2: Types of Data and Expressions
Lesson 3: C# Language Constructs

Lab 1: Developing the Class Enrolment Application

Module 2: C# Language Concepts
Applications often consist of logical units of functionality that perform specific functions, such as providing access to data or triggering some logical processing. C# is an object-orientated language and uses the concept of methods to encapsulate logical units of functionality. Although a good practice is to have methods that do just one thing, they can be as simple or as complex as you like. It is also important to consider what happens to the state of your application when an exception occurs in a method.

Lessons
Lesson 1: Methods
Lesson 2: Method Overloading
Lesson 3: Exception Handling
Lesson 4: Monitoring

Lab 1: Extending the Class Enrolment Application
Refactor code to facilitate reusability.
Write C# code that validates data entered by a user.
Write C# code that saves changes back to a database.

Module 3: C# Structures, Collections and Events
To create effective applications you must first learn some fundamental C# constructs. You need to know how to create simple structures to represent the data items you are working with. You need to know how to organise these structures into collections, so that you can add items, retrieve items, and iterate over your items. Finally, you need to know how to subscribe to events so that you can respond to the actions of your users.

Module 12: Designing for Reuse
In this module, you’ll learn how to consume existing assemblies by using reflection, and how to add additional metadata to types and type members by using attributes. You’ll also learn how to generate code at runtime by using the Code Document Object Model (CodeDOM) and how manage your .NET assemblies.
