C#.NET 2: C# Programming in the .NET Framework

In this course, you will continue your C# education by gaining a deeper understanding of object-oriented programming. You will learn about data types and scope; create programs using models, classes, objects, methods, and constructors; and learn the ways in which these elements relate to one another. File Input/Output (I/O) topics are also covered, allowing you to read from and write to files.  As you create increasingly complex projects, you will learn ways to debug your code as well.

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

• Program C# statements, identifiers, expressions, and assignments.
• Apply relational, boolean, and bitwise logical operators.
• Branch and iterate C# code.
• Differentiate between Windows GUI and Console application.
• Define object-oriented models, initializers, and class relationships.
• Demonstrate knowledge of overloading and memory concepts such as stack and heap.
• Debug programs using breakpoints, expression evaluation, and watches.

From beginning to end, you will learn by doing Visual Studio 2010-based projects and submitting them for instructor feedback.  These projects, as well as the final project, will add to your portfolio and contribute to certificate completion.  Besides a browser and Internet connection, all software is provided online by the O’Reilly School of Technology.

This course counts toward the C#.NET Programming Certificate.

Prerequisites:  C#.NET 1: Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming Using C#, or equivalent skills.  This course is meant for the beginning or intermediate programmer.
