About the course:
The .NET framework continues to mature and grow - it has branched out into every imaginable facet of software development. The dawn of .NET 5 brings a homogenising of features from "full fat" .NET and .NET Core, and we'll see a lot more cross-platform development happening thanks to .NET 5 and C#9.
Our hands-on .NET 5 training course aims to bring developers who are new to the framework up to speed with the fundamentals of C#9 and also the key aspects of the .NET framework needed to get started in this massively popular ecosystem.
Let us know if you are interested in remote training - we're happy to customise the course syllabus to meet your project and learning needs, delivered via virtual classroom. For instance, if your team is already using C#8 and .NET 4.5, we can focus on the most important new features that you want to learn.
Please note that as the paint is still drying on the latest version of .NET, this course may be liable to changes in the course syllabus. Please check back to see if there have been any content updates - and do get in touch if you have any questions.
By the end of this course, you will have learnt:
- .NET
Framework Fundamentals
- Core C#9 Language Features
- Defining Types
- Defining Members
- Inheritance and Interfaces
- Delegates, Events, and Lambda Expressions
- Using .NET Framework APIs
- Generics in C#9
- File Handling and Serialisation
- LINQ
- Entity Framework
Who should attend
Our intro to .NET 5 training course is aimed at anyone who needs to understand the fundamental principles of developing .NET apps with C#9. 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 2019 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 for educational purposes. That means you can take away all the code you've worked on for further study.
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.
