Programming with C#

.NET is a modern cross-platform framework for developing Windows and web applications, mobile applications, and applications for devices. In this workshop you will learn the syntax of C# including new features of C# and the core libraries needed for both Windows/Linux and web application development.

Duration: 5 days

This comprehensive course teaches developers the programming skills needed to build Windows and web applications using C#. Over five days, you will learn core C# program structure, language syntax, and implementation details.

Who Should Attend

Software developers who want to build .NET applications for Windows, Linux, and macOS
Developers transitioning from other object-oriented languages to C#
Engineers seeking comprehensive C# language and .NET platform knowledge
Teams adopting modern C# features and .NET 10 capabilities

Prerequisites

Developers should have basic experience with C# or another object-oriented language such as Java, C++, or Python.

Learning Goals

Master C# syntax, language features, and modern programming patterns
Understand .NET application frameworks and development tools
Apply object-oriented principles effectively in C# applications
Use LINQ for data querying and manipulation
