About the course:
Our instructor-led .NET Programming with C# Training Course is aimed at developers who are new to the .NET Framework, who need to get up to speed quickly with C# language fundamentals and to understand and use effectively the core .NET functionality. The hands-on labs reflect useful real-world scenarios and best practices. The course covers the fundamentals of the C# language and features extensive hands-on exercises with Visual Studio 2019. You will still also be able to use VS 2017 but C#8 topics will be unavailable in this version of the software.
By the end of the course you will be able to create data-driven applications in C#, and use your knowledge as a basis for going on to specialise in the development of Windows GUI apps (e.g. WPF, Universal Windows Platform Apps), Web Applications in ASP.NET Core MVC, Azure Cloud Services and other .NET disciplines.
If you are interested in Visual Basic (VB.NET) training courses please let us know.
This course is available for custom delivery for your team over remotely via MS Teams, Zoom or your platform of choice - get in touch to find out how we can bring the virtual classroom to you and focus on your project requirements.

Who should attend
Our intro to C# .net training course is aimed at anyone who needs to understand the fundamental principles of .NET programming with C#, in order to be able to then go on to develop commercial Windows, Web (ASP.NET / MVC), server-side or other Microsoft-based solutions (such as BizTalk or SharePoint). The course is well suited to experienced developers coming from backgrounds such as JavaScript, PHP, or Java.
Bring your own device (public scheduled .NET courses in London)
Our C# .NET training course is designed to work with Visual Studio 2017 Community edition so to save time you can install it on your laptop before your course - it's easy to obtain and free to use. That means you can take away all the code you've worked on for further study or even to kick-start your next .NET project.
Prerequisites
Delegates should be comfortable with programming essentials, but no previous Object Oriented Programming experience is assumed (although some OOP experience would certainly be helpful)
Live, instructor-led online and on-site training
We appreciate that you need flexibility to fit in with new working situations - whether you're an individual, part of a distributed team, or simply have projects and deadlines to meet.
Our remote training can take place online in a virtual classroom, with content split into modules to accommodate your scheduling challenges and meet your learning goals. Get in touch today to find out how we can help design a cost-effective, flexible training solution.
As soon as it's safe, we'll return to also offering the on-site custom training courses and programmes upon which we've built our reputation.
