Notes
This course is targeted toward existing programmers that need to transition to C# in the shortest possible timeframe. For a more in-depth look at C# programming for non-programmers, see CSHP1 - C# Fundamentals - Level 1. For an in-depth look at C# for programmers, see MS2124 - Programming with C# and MS2555 - Developing Microsoft .NET Applications for Windows (Visual C# .NET).

This course provides a practical, hands-on introduction to C# programming for programmers experienced in an object-oriented language such as C++ or Java. The course also includes an introduction to some of the most important features of the .NET Framework.

The course opens with a discussion of the fundamental issues in developing applications in the web environment, leading to the concept of applications as a service. The .NET Framework is outlined in detail, including the class library and runtime. The C# programming language is introduced at a sophisticated level, including the object-oriented features. The use of C# with the .NET framework is described, including collections and persistence. Delegates and events are covered.

The course examines the development of user interface applications under .NET, which is profoundly changed. Windows becomes a more robust and stable platform, and there is now a consistent class library, Windows Forms, that is used across multiple languages. ADO.NET is introduced, a new set of data access services for the .NET Framework. ASP.NET is described, including the use of Web Forms and Web Controls to simplify developing and deploying web applications.

The central role of XML and SOAP is described, including a discussion of the creation and use of Web Services. Numerous programming examples and exercises are included, including a substantial case study. The student will receive a comprehensive set of notes and all the programming examples.
