C# Fundamentals – Blended Learning

Overview

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 start a journey in Microsoft-based programming with C#, one of the industry’s most popular programming languages. You will learn the fundamentals of the C# programming language allowing you to develop functional C# applications, whilst also appreciating supporting concepts around development, such as source control, basic OO concepts, unit testing and best practice.

Prerequisites

In order to attend this course learners must understand the fundamentals of programming. The required level of knowledge can be achieved by attending QA’s ‘Programming Foundations’ (QAPROGFOU) 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.

Objectives

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

• Write code that includes sequence, selection, and iteration constructs.
• Work with arrays and collections
• Create and use classes and structures (types), including fields, properties and methods.
• Use private, internal and public visibility modifiers.
• Work with generic types.
• Leverage the power of C# features.
• Create and use unit tests to validate code behaviour.

Outline

• Module 1: Getting started
• Module 2: Coding algorithms
• Module 3: Using classes for data objects and to model business entities
• Module 4: Unit testing

Delivery Method

This Blended Learning course consists of two key stages.

Self-Paced Learning

• Up to 12 hours, completed over a 4-week period prior to the live event.
• It is recommended that learners have a minimum of 4 weeks between the course booking and the instructor-led live event to complete the 12 hours of learning.
• The self-paced learning is available 4 weeks prior to the live event and for 12 months following the live event.

Instructor-Led Live Event

• This course has a 2-day live event.
• It is critical that the self-paced learning is completed prior to joining the live event.
