This course is an awesome refresher. I will definitely recommend to anyone taking this certification."Biruk says: "It is quite easy to follow and the instructor's depth of knowledge is amazing!!! Enjoying the lesson"Darryl says: "Great Course From An Excellent Instructor. Really Deep And Informative Learning 5*"We'll start off with looking at Core Programming. We will download for free the Visual Studio Community edition, and use it to investigate the fundamental C# statements. We'll look at decision structures such as If and Switch [Case Select], repetition such as For loops, While loops and recursion, and then we'll look at errors and find out how to handle them.We'll then look at Object-Oriented Programming. We'll go deeper into concepts that we have already used, such as namespaces, methods and classes, and add to them using events and constructors. We'll see how you can duplicate and develop classes using inheritance, polymorphism and encapsulation.Next up is General Software Development. We'll look at various different data structures such as arrays, stacks, queues and linked lists, and we'll also look at sorting algorithms. We'll then take a step back and look at application life cycle management, and how to interpret application specifications.The next thing to look at is Web Applications. We'll look at web page development using HTML, Cascading Style Sheets and JavaScript. We'll then investigate ASP.NET web application development, web hosting and web services.
