Programming With C#

Your complete guide to programming in C#

What you'll learn

Students will learn the basics when it comes to the C# Programming language.

Students will learn how to develop classes to define entities and all aspects around classes in C#.

Students will learn further aspects such as working with Collections, File I/O, Streams.

Students can also build a sample console-based application based on base requirements for a real-world application.

Requirements

Students should have some basic knowledge on what is an application, storage of data.

Apart from this, we are going to learn C# from scratch , so prior knowledge of C# is not required.

In this course we will be using Visual Studio to develop programs. Students should have a computer on which they can install Visual Studio to practice along

Description

This course is being dedicated to teach students on the C# programming language. Currently this course targets teaching the basics when it comes to the C# programming language. In further iterations of the course, content when it comes to developing Web Applications and the Entity Framework will also be added to the course. Currently this courses focuses on teaching the following conceptsGetting started with the C# programming languageHow can we work with variables and the different types in C#How to work with the different types of statements - Selection-based, iteration-based.Basics when it comes to classes - Defining classes, fields, properties, constructors.How to work with derived classes and interfaces.How to use the different types of Collections - Queue, Stack, List, Dictionary.How to implement records in C#How to delegates and Lambda work.Using LINQ to work with data.Working with Files and Streams in .NET.How can we work with data that is stored in a JSON-based file.We are also going to create a mini-project in C#. This will revolve around creating a learning application that will work with Students, Instructors and Courses. We will work from the requirements and develop a simple Console-based application to deliver on the requirements.
