Programming in C# and .Net - Part II (Intermediate to Advanced Level)

This course is suited for those who already have a basic background in C# and would like to improve their expertise in C# and .Net application development. This course starts out with a review of the important concepts in C# such as classes and inheritance, interfaces, exception handling, delegates and events, string processing and collections. It then covers multithreading, GDI+, assemblies, accessing databases using ADO.Net, interacting with COM and COM+, COM+ Enterprise components, XML processing, designing distributed applications using web services and .Net remoting. Some medium sized projects are implemented during the course which cover important .Net programming topics such as GUI design using GDI+, databases, web services and .Net remoting concepts.

Course Duration : 35 hours.
