Join us for three days of instructor-led onsite training in C#. You will learn the core concepts and building blocks of this popular cross platform Object Orientated language.

Delegates should be familiar with programming concepts but to not need to have prior experience of using C#.

This is a BYOD event.

The following topics will be covered over the duration of the course.

Day 1

Introduction	Basic syntax	Defining classes	Defining structs	Arrays
Brief History	Reading and writing to console	Defining fields and methods	Field visibility	How data is stored
.net framework	Variables	Properties	Default initialization	Advantages of contiguous access
Driving factors	Looping constructs	Access modifiers	No args constructor	Fixed sizing - how to resize
Java legacy	Branching constructs	Initialization	Definite asignment	Array of class vs struct
Managed language pros cons	Arithmetic operations	Constructors	Where struct data lives
	What are types	Where reference data lives	Autoboxing
		Static fields and methods	Putting structs in classes

Day 2

Inheritance	Interfaces	Generic types	Using collections
Inheriting from a class	Importence of segregation	Algorithmic reusability	Collection interfaces
Field and method visibility	Behaviour vs type	Type parameters	Common collection types
Method overriding	Declaring methods and properties	Defining a generic method	List
Abstract methods	Implementing an interface with reference types	Defining a generic class	List algorithms
Abstract classes	Substitutability		Dictionary
The object base type	Commonly used interfaces		HashSet
		Queue

Day 3

Building object hierarchies	Exceptions	IO	Assemblies and packages
Holding references to objects	Common error handling behaviour	Opening a file for reading	What is an assembly
Null	Exception types	Reading bytes vs strings	Using namespaces to logically separate types
Nullable value types	Try catch finally blocks	Writing data to a file	Compiling
Elvis operator and null guards	Throwing exceptions	Working with paths	What is nuget
	Defining custom exceptions	Managing the file system	Using nuget to import packages
	IDisposable	Serializing and deserializing data	Runtime assembly loading requirements
