Programming in C#

Course program:

This is the starting point for all programmers. Each lesson will cover between 2 to 4 topics depending on the student and their abilities but the general lesson plan will be:

• Sequence (data types, variables, basic input and output).
• Iteration (repetition - for, do, and while loops).
• Decision (If, If-Else, If-ElseIf-Else, Switch, Trinary operator).
• Methods (Dividing your code into smaller chunks, then how to pass data between the chunks - methods, passing values by value and by reference, return types, and passing and returning multiple values).
• Finally (if time permits), we will focus on collections (Arrays, Lists etc.).

This first stage is the equivalent of the first semester of a 3rd level college programming course.

The second stage covers Object Oriented Programming OOP principles.
• Classes (defining and using classes).
• Inheritance (parent and child classes, and the general Is-A relationship).
• Polymorphism (Defining multiple things with the same name but still the computer knows what to do).
• Encapsulation (A detailed look at scope, and accessibility).
• Interfaces - This bridges the gap between stage 2 and 3.

This second stage is the equivalent of the second semester of a 3rd level college programming course.

The third stage covers additional advanced principles that you need to know to be an effective C# Programmer.

• A closer look into interfaces.
• Generics.
• Linq.
• Entity Frameworks (for which you may need to have in
