Visual C# Introduction For Developers Training Course

The software development industry has gone through several revolutions over the last 50 years, the most recent of which is the introduction of Microsoft's .NET platform. The software industry has made major transitions in the past, including machine languages (0s and 1s), symbolic languages (COBOL and FORTRAN), procedural language (Pascal and C), and object-oriented languages (Smalltalk, C++, and Java), each with its own improvements in productivity and programming power. .NET is a similar revolution. As a programmer, you will want your skills on the leading edge of this revolution. Of all the languages targeting the .NET platform, C# has been tailor-made for future .NET developers.

Target Student: Visual Basic, C++, and Java programmers with at least one year of practical experience who want to learn C# programming.

You have experience in programming in at least one other object-oriented or object-based programming language. You are now entering the new world of .NET programming, using the C# programming language and the Visual C#.NET integrated development environment inside Visual Studio.NET. This is one in a series of C# programming courses offered by PTR.

To ensure your success, we recommend you first take the following Element K course or have equivalent knowledge:

• Object-Oriented Programming: Principles
• .NET Framework: Introduction
• Visual Studio.NET: Introduction
