Beginning Modern C# and .NET Core Development

This course is targeted at professional software developers or programming and developer enthusiasts wanting to get started with building and deploying advanced applications using the modern-day .NET framework. The prospective students will be taught about the intricacies of .NET and other associated technologies such as C#, and ASP.NET.

It is imperative that a prospective student is well acquainted with basic object-oriented programming principles. Additionally, it is advised, though not completely necessary, that one possess a very basic idea of the .NET stack before commencing with this course. 

• Examine core language features such as types, variables, and control constructs
• Use object-oriented features such as class, interface, protection, and inheritance
• Perform error notification and error handling using exceptions
• Use properties to implement the private data/public accessor pattern
• Use namespaces to group related types
• Use delegates and events to implement callbacks
• Override Object class methods such as ToString
• Avoid dll conflicts during deployment
• Use dynamic binding and polymorphism to write generic code (i.e., less code!)
• Distinguish between "implementation inheritance" and "interface inheritance"
• Use ADO.NET to connect to SQL Server and run a simple query
• Build a basic Windows Forms GUI
