Course Objectives

This course aims to provide the delegate with the knowledge to be able to produce simple C# applications that exploit the core elements of the language including variables,expressions,selection and iteration,arrays,methods,classes and objects,structs,encapsulation,inheritance and polymorphism,exceptions,file IO and LINQ.
