  • Competency : If you have also completed all the practical projects as described the Outcomes section, you qualify for the Competency Certificate.

Pre-requisites

Who will benefit

  • Not for beginners, this course teaches you the nuts and bolts of C#, such as generics, LINQ, and asynchronous programming features.
  • Get up to speed on .NET Core and the latest C# 8.0 additions, including asynchronous streams, nullable references, pattern matching, default interface implementation, ranges and new indexing syntax, and changes in the .NET tool chain.

What you will learn

  • How C# supports fundamental coding features, such as classes, other custom types, collections, and error handling
  • How to write high-performance memory-efficient code with .NET Core’s Span and Memory types
  • Query and process diverse data sources, such as in-memory object models, databases, data streams, and XML documents with LINQ
  • How to Use .NET’s multithreading features to exploit your computer’s parallel processing capabilities
  • Learn how asynchronous language features can help improve application responsiveness and scalability
