Course Objectives
The aim of this Course is to give students a fully rounded general knowledge of programming with C#. Whereas the C# Primer (CS02) Course provides basic skills, this Course moves onto more advanced topics including Advanced Programming topics, Collections, Threads, I/O and Windows Applications. During the Course the student will write many applications and classes ensuring that the statements taught are fully understood and practical experience is gained. The Course is taught using Microsoft''s Visual Studio IDE. The skills needed to use this software are presented as part of the Course. On completion of this Course the student will be able to:
- Take advantage of and understand Interfaces and Delegates
- Understand and use Collections, ArrayLists and Dictionaries
- Create and handle Exceptions
- Use the C# Input/Output classes
- Understand and use Serialization to achieve persistence
- Understand multi-threading and synchronization and use the various techniques available to create separate threads
- Create Windows Based applications

Course Environment Development will be performed using:
- Microsoft Visual Studio
Course Format: Practical sessions make up a large part of the course, allowing delegates to demonstrate and reinforce the lectures given. During these sessions the delegate will build a simple but complete application. Examples are used extensively, ranging from simple code 'snippets' to full applications with complete 'real world' functionality. These are supplied at the start of the course and it is encouraged that the delegates execute and 'experiment' with these under the instructor's guidance as they are introduced. These examples are available to take away, along with the delegate's own work. The comprehensive Student Guide supplied is fully indexed serving as a useful reference tool long after the course has finished. Delegates will also be able to access a free help-line with technical questions relating to topics covered on the course.
