Complete C# 2005
(Course IT-1020)
 

The .NET platform brings a streamlined elegance to Windows and Web development, and C# is the language designed specifically for the .NET development. Our Complete C# 2005 provides in-depth coverage of both the language (C# 2005) and the platform (.NET 2.0). The class begins with an overview of the core atoms of the .NET universe; CLR, CTS, CLS, CIL and the assembly / namespace / type distinction. You will then learn the details of the C# language including several new features such as nullable data types, partial classes and generics.

The focus of the class then shifts to various technologies provided by the .NET 2.0 platform, including file I/O and object serialization, reflection services, Windows Forms 2.0, ADO.NET 2.0 and an introduction to ASP.NET 2.0 Web applications and XML Web services. Throughout the week, attendees will also be exposed to numerous aspects of the Visual Studio 2005 IDE and make use of various integrated development tools (refactoring support, code snippets, visual type designers, etc).

The class materials also include numerous appendixes which will be covered if time permits (or per client request). Throughout the course you will complete several practical hands-on exercises that demonstrate how to apply .NET technologies in the real world.
