C# skills are in high demand: This practical workshop delivered by our highly experienced trainer, holding Microsoft C# Specialist and CompTIA Certified Technical Trainer (CTT+) certifications, will efficiently help you to understand and apply C# within your projects.

During the course the core concepts of .NET are introduced along with the principles of Object Orientated Programming (OOP). Particular emphasis is placed on Interface design which is key in the development of efficient and maintainable applications. Memory management (Garbage Collection) best practices are illustrated and core debugging techniques are introduced.

We also include an introduction to Test Driven Development (TDD).
