Introduction to C# using .NET

This thorough and comprehensive course is a practical introduction to programming in C# utilizing the services provided by .NET. An important thrust of the course is to teach C# programming from an object-oriented perspective. It is often difficult for programmers trained originally in a procedural language to start "thinking in objects". This course introduces object oriented concepts early, and C# is developed in a way that leverages its object-orientation. The C# language introduces several new features, such as properties, indexers, delegates, events and interfaces that make C# a compelling language for developing object-oriented and component-based systems, thorough coverage of all these features is provided in this course. C# as a language is elegant and powerful but to fully utilize its capabilities you need to have a good understanding of how it works with the .NET Framework. The course explores several important interactions between C# and the .NET Framework, and it includes an introduction to major classes for collections, files, delegates, events, and threads.
