After completing this course, students will be able to:List the major elements of the .NET Framework and explain how C# fits into the .NET Platform. Analyze the basic structure of a C# application and be able to document, debug, compile, and run a simple application. Create, name, and assign values to variables. Use common statements to implement flow control, looping, and exception handling. Create methods (functions and subroutines) that can return values and take parameters. Create, initialize, and use arrays. Explain the basic concepts and terminology of object-oriented programming. Use common objects and reference types. Create, initialize, and destroy objects in a C# application. Build new C# classes from existing classes. Create self-contained classes and frameworks in a C# application. List the major elements of the .NET Framework and explain how they fit into the .NET platform. Explain the main concepts behind the common language runtime and use the features of the .NET Framework to create a simple application. Create and use components in Windows Forms-based and ASP.NET-based applications. Create, use, and extend types by understanding the Common Type System architecture. Create classes and interfaces that are functionally efficient and appropriate for given programming scenarios. Use the .NET Framework class library to efficiently create and manage strings, arrays, collections, and enumerators.
