The different Wise Owl courses for C# explained
We run two levels of C# training, as explained below!
Introduction to C#
Our two-day introduction to C# course will teach you the basics of Visual C# programming, covering:
- Creating variables
- Writing conditions
- Using arrays
- Looping
- Using lists
- Basic read/write properties
Here's an example of the sort of thing you'll be able to write on this course:
private void btnShowAge_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//read two dates to compare into variables
DateTime DateOfBirth = this.dtpDateOfBirth.Value;
DateTime DateToday = DateTime.Today;
//work out the user's age
TimeSpan span;
span = DateToday - DateOfBirth;
Int64 Age = Convert.ToInt16(span.TotalDays/365.25);
//display it
MessageBox.Show("You are " + Age.ToString() + " years old");
}
A quick introductory course might include creating basic classes within the course contents (as always, much depends on the speed and enthusiasm of your fellow delegates, of whom there will be at most 5 people).
Intermediate C# course
In addition, we also run a two-day intermediate C# course, concentrating on classes and using LINQ to get information out of databases using entity framework models. If you're wondering what a class is, here's an example:
class Customer
{
// fields (private to this class)
private string firstName;
private string lastName;
// property giving first name
public string FirstName {
get { return firstName; }
set { firstName = value; }
}
// property giving last name
public string LastName
{
get { return lastName; }
set { lastName = value; }
}
}
