C# Intermediate – Blended Learning

Blended Learning – the best of both ways to learn.

Combining the best of digital and live learning, with access to world-class industry experts, this course is suitable for those looking to continue a journey in Microsoft-based programming with C#, one of the industry’s most popular programming languages. You will learn everything you need to know to be able to develop fully functional C# applications, whilst also appreciating supporting concepts around development, such as source control. exception handling, OOP techniques and best practice.

By the end of this course, learners will be able to:

• create and use classes and structures (types), including fields, properties, methods, delegates, and events.
• use private, internal, protected, and public visibility modifiers.
• use exception handling to create robust applications.
• create derived classes that inherit from custom-written or .NET classes.
• create interfaces and apply techniques of polymorphism effectively and appropriately.
• work with generic types.
• leverage the power of C# features.
• use delegates
• use lambda expressions in C# code.
• use LINQ (Language Integrated Query).
• Access SQL databases using the Entity Framework

In order to attend this course learners must understand the fundamentals of programming in C#. The required level of knowledge can be achieved by attending QA’s ‘C# Foundations’ (QACSFUND-BL) course.

Target Audience

In summary, this course is for IT professionals who already have a fundamental understanding of how to write and manipulate simple C# applications and want to dig more deeply into Object Oriented Programming and the benefits it can bring. It will also be a good fit for professionals who have ample experience in an OOP-based programming language, such as Java or Python, who are looking to upskill with a new programming language.
