Intermediate C# training course - Classes, LINQ and Entity Frameworks

Classroom training course - online version also available

£795 + VAT for most venues (£895 + VAT for London)

2 days

This intermediate-level C# course assumes that you're already familiar with the basics of C# programming (so you know how to use variables, write conditions and create loops). You suspect (correctly) that the key to understanding C# is knowing how to create and use classes, and you'd also like to learn a quick and easy way to access data so that you can use it in your application.

Sample customer feedback

Our thanks to everyone who agreed to share their thoughts (note that some of these reviews may be for our online courses).

"Superb job. One of the best courses I've been on. Fantastic trainer - very knowledgeable, hugely personable and an excellent presenter. We had a lot to cover in the three days. Not once did I feel rushed, not once was the instruction anything other than clear, well explained and very well organised. Kudos too to the people who write your manuals - they are excellent - clear, concise and easy to absorb. This is my second Wise Owl course and I will sing your praises to anyone who cares to listen. What makes the difference? The human touch and the thought and care. You're dealing with a person, not an opaque and convolution online registration process. A great deal of effort has gone in to the content of the courses and their manuals and above all they're delivered by likeable, knowledgeable people who want you to learn."
