What you'll learn?
- The course imparts theoretical and practical knowledge of using collection classes: non-generic, generic, concurrent and specialized collections in C# through presentations and walking through hands-on coding in Visual Studio.
- Hands-on experience on coding as well as unit testing of C# methods used in collection classes.
- Learn how to gather information of generic types at run-time through reflection in C#, all through hands-on coding walkthrough.
- As a build up to the collection classes, bonus introductory lectures on abstract class and interface in C# is available for those who require knowledge on Object Oriented concepts which are foundation blocks for the collection class.
- As a bonus, students will learn and build a windows form application where they will apply the collection class concepts
- Students will learn to build a CRUD app using Microsoft SQL server and C# that relates to generic collection classes
Course Overview
This course covers the Non-Generic, Generic, Concurrent and Specialized Collection classes in C#. The course includes important concept building topics in Reflection, Multi-threaded applications (with thread safety), Asynchronous Programming and Object-Oriented concepts of Interfaces and Abstract Class that the students need to grasp in order to get the full benefits from the course. Several coding exercises, an assignment, and a mini-project are aimed to keep the students engaged with the contents. These exercises are also means of self-assessing the progress with the course. A number of bonus articles and lectures have been added to enhance the learning process in related technologies.
Pre-requisites
- Students should ideally have Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition (or later) installed on a laptop/desktop. SQL Server 2017 Express/Developer (or later) would also be desirable. Both are free software from Microsoft. Some basic knowledge of C# or any other object oriented programming will be advantageous. Some prior exposure to Visual Studio IDE will make this course a breeze.
Target Audience
- Advanced beginners in programming , computer science/engineering students to practicing professionals (who would like to brush up their skills), existing developers migrating to C# from other languages. However absolute beginners are also welcome if they are willing to catch up with basic programming concepts such as use of variables, decision statements and iteration loops.
