This C# training course introduces C# in the .NET Environment. The course presents topics using executable programming examples, instructor-led labs to get started with the development environment and a substantial application incrementally built in the labs, utilizing Win Apps, Web Apps and Web services.
The first day gives an overview of the .NET Architecture and Framework before introducing the Visual Studio .NET development environment and the core of the C# language.

The second day introduces the Object-Oriented Programming aspects of C#. The rest of the course is mostly a tutorial workshop as the students implement the Service Management application. In this application, Customers use the Web App to request various repair services, a Manager uses a Win App to manage the services and Service Personnel use a Web App to respond to requests and update their status. A Web Service provides business logic and database access to the other components.
