C# Hands-on Practice with Data-Structures

This course is designed for software developers and computer science students who want to deepen their understanding of data structures in C#. With hands-on practical exercises, instructor Kathryn Hodge shows you what it takes to master the implementation and usage of essential data structures like arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, and dictionaries in C#, as well as make effective use of C# libraries and frameworks that offer prebuilt data structures. By applying these structures effectively, you'll be prepared to solve real-world problems, optimize your code base, and improve the overall functionality of your applications. By the end of this course, you’ll be equipped with skills you need to design and implement custom data structures for specific project requirements, understanding the balance between creating custom solutions and using standard, built-in features.

Learning objectives

• Implement and use common data structures like arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, and dictionaries in C#.
• Solve real-world problems by applying appropriate data structures to optimize code and improve functionality.
• Write clean, efficient code using best practices for data structure implementation in C#.
• Design custom data structures tailored to specific needs or applications.
• Leverage C# libraries and frameworks that include prebuilt data structures in their applications, understanding when to use standard library features versus custom implementations.
