C# is a modern programming language from Microsoft and a mainstay of the .NET platform. Its syntax resembles Java, but it is known for its readable code and efficient use of the processor. In this course you learn how to work with C# in Visual Studio. You start with the basics and build up to object-oriented techniques such as inheritance, interfaces and polymorphism. By the end you can build C# applications independently.

Description

C# (pronounced C-Sharp) was developed by Microsoft and is widely used for building applications on the Windows platform. The language has much in common with Java, but stands out for its readable code and good performance. C# is an important part of the .NET framework and its compatibility with Windows is excellent. You can also port code to other platforms, such as Android and iOS, which makes C# a versatile choice.

During this course you will work in Microsoft Visual Studio and learn step by step how to build programs. You start with data types, methods and flow control and then move on to object-oriented programming. Topics such as classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism and exception handling are covered in detail. You will also work with collections, generics, delegates and events. The material is supported by literature and slides, and you apply what you learn straight away by programming yourself in the course environment.

Topics

  • Data types and flow control
  • Methods and parameters
  • Arrays and enumerations
  • Value types and reference types
  • Classes, objects and constructors
  • The this keyword
  • Inheritance and polymorphism
  • Exception handling
  • Interfaces and collections
  • Generics
  • Delegates and events
  • Object lifetime

Result

After this course you will be able to write programs in C# independently. You work smoothly in Visual Studio and understand the main principles of object-oriented programming. You create your own classes, use inheritance and polymorphism and apply interfaces in your code. You know how to handle errors with exception handling and how to work with collections, generics, delegates and events. This gives you a solid basis to develop further as a C# developer or to extend your knowledge towards .NET and web development.

Target audience

This course is intended for programmers who already have experience with another programming language and want to explore C# in more depth. Think of developers with a background in Java, Python, PHP, JavaScript or C++ who want to move to the Microsoft platform. If you increasingly work with .NET applications and want to learn to program in C# yourself, this is also the right place for you.

Teaching method

The course is classroom-based and taught in small groups, so that you receive plenty of personal attention. Theory and practice alternate. After each explanation you immediately get to work in Visual Studio on assignments that match the material. Your trainer is an experienced developer who guides you while you program and gives feedback on your code. You receive course material and slides that you can also consult after the course.

Prior knowledge

You have experience with at least one other programming language. It does not matter much which one, as long as you know the basic concepts such as variables, functions, loops and conditions. Prior knowledge of object-oriented programming is an advantage, but not a requirement. We cover the object-oriented concepts during the course.

What others say about this course

"High-quality content of a high standard. Karijn knows what he is talking about and, thanks to his broad knowledge, is able to go into depth on topics and pitch them well to the participants. As a result, the pace was judged well too. He was also flexible in view of our working hours. We took a C# course at our own location as experienced C programmers."

Participant

"I really enjoyed taking the C# course at Learnit. Everything was well organised and provided by a professional trainer with a great deal of knowledge and also the ability to convey it well."

Frequently asked questions

What will I learn in this course?

You learn to program in C# with Microsoft Visual Studio. You start with data types, flow control and methods and move on to object-oriented programming with classes, objects, inheritance and polymorphism. You also learn to work with interfaces, collections, generics, delegates, events and exception handling. Afterwards, you will be able to build C# applications independently.

Who is this course for?

The course is intended for programmers who already have experience with another programming language, such as Java, Python, PHP or C++. Do you want to make the switch to the Microsoft platform, or are you working with .NET applications more and more often? Then you are in the right place.

What prior knowledge do I need?

You have experience with at least one other programming language and are familiar with concepts such as variables, functions, loops and conditions. Experience with object-oriented programming is useful, but not required. We cover the object-oriented concepts during the course.

What does the course look like?

You work in small groups under the guidance of an experienced trainer. Theory is explained with slides and examples, after which you start programming in Visual Studio straight away. This means explanation and practice alternate continuously and you build up your C# knowledge step by step.

What is the delivery format?

The course is classroom-based. You are taught on location at Learnit, in a group with other participants. This leaves plenty of room for questions, tailored explanation and immediate feedback on your code.

Who teaches the course?

The course is taught by an experienced developer and trainer who works with C# and the .NET platform on a daily basis. Our trainers know what the day-to-day practice demands and can relate your questions to examples from their own work.

What do I get after the course?

You will go home with a solid basis in C# and object-oriented programming. You will also receive a Learnit certificate as proof of participation and you keep the course material to read back later.

How can I prepare?

No special preparation is needed. It helps to refresh your own programming experience and to think in advance about an application you would like to use C# for. That way you can ask targeted questions during the course.

What if I can't attend?

Unable to attend on the scheduled date? Then contact us in good time. We will look together at whether you can join another group, so that you can still complete the course.

Do I receive a certificate?

Yes, on completing the course you receive a Learnit certificate as proof of participation.

How do I register?

You register using the button on the course page. Choose a date that suits you and fill in the registration form. You will then receive a confirmation with all the practical information.

What does the course cost?
