Course Title: Programming with C#

Course Code: M2124
Version: C
Level: 400
Duration: 5 Days

Course Overview

The Programming with C# M2124 instructor-led training course has been designed to provide candidates with the necessary skills and knowledge required to develop C# applications for the Microsoft .NET Platform. The course focuses on C# programme structure, language syntax, and implementation details.

C# was created to be the programming language best suited for writing enterprise applications for .NET. C# combines the high productivity of Microsoft Visual Basic with the raw power of C++. It is a simple, object-oriented, and type-safe programming language that is based on the C and C++ family of languages.

Target Audience

Candidates who should consider attending the M2124 Microsoft training course are experienced developers who already have programming experience in C, C++, Visual Basic, or Java. These developers will be likely to develop enterprise business solutions.

Course Objectives

On successfully completing the M2124 course candidates will be able to:

• List the major elements of the .NET Framework and explain how C# fits into the .NET Platform
• Analyse the basic structure of a C# application and be able to document, debug, compile, and run a simple application
• Create, name, and assign values to variables
• Use common statements to implement flow control, looping, and exception handling
• Create methods (functions and subroutines) that can return values and take parameters
• Create, initialise, and use arrays
• Explain the basic concepts and terminology of object-oriented programming
• Use common objects and reference types
• Create, initialise, and destroy objects in a C# application
• Build new C# classes from existing classes
• Create self-contained classes and frameworks in a C# application
• Define operators, use delegates, and add event specifications
• Implement properties and indexers
• Use predefined and custom attributes

Course Prerequisites

Candidates attending the M2124 Microsoft training course should have previous experience with programming in C, C++, Visual Basic, Java, or another programming language. Candidates are also required to be familiar with the Microsoft .NET strategy as described on the Microsoft .NET website: www.microsoft.com/net as well as the .NET Framework as described on the MSDN Magazine websites msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/0900/Framework/Framework.asp and msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/1000/Framework2/Framework2.asp.

Testing and Certification

There are currently no exams or Microsoft Certification directly associated to this course however this course may assist in preparing candidates for other exams that are closely associated with this technology.
