C# is a multi-paradigm programming language providing a host of new features to build powerful cross-platform applications. Using TDD along with C#  has proven itself to be one of the best practices out there when it comes to writing maintainable, robust, and testable code.

This course takes a practical and incremental approach. It helps you gain basic fundamentals using real-world practical examples and gets you acquainted with C# programming. Next, you’ll explore the concepts of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) through a real-world example & dive into advanced-level concepts such as generics and collections, and you’ll get acquainted with objects and LINQ. Then you'll learn to write & automate tests for your implementations & also explore how to add full test support to our projects, as well. Finally, you will learn some exciting tips, tricks, & techniques for your C# 7.x coding & will able to build your own desktop applications in C# 7.x much faster and with ease.

By the end of this course, you will have the tools you need to start building applications, backed by an automated suite of tests to ensure quality software delivery and best practices to enhance your coding skills effectively.

Contents and Overview

This training program includes 2 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible.

The first course, Learn C# in 7 days begins by teaching you the basic fundamentals using real-world practical examples and gets you acquainted with C# programming. We cover some important features and nuances of the language in a hands-on way, helping you grasp the concepts in a fluid manner. Later, you’ll explore the concepts of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) through a real-world example. Then we dive into advanced-level concepts such as generics and collections, and you’ll get acquainted with objects and LINQ. Toward the end, you’ll build an application that covers all the concepts explained in this video course. By the end of this course, you’ll have next-level skills and a good knowledge of the fundamentals of C#.

The second course, Introducing Test Driven Development in C# covers key concepts, methods, and patterns behind TDD through concrete and practical examples in C# 7. This course starts off with an introduction to unit tests and unit test frameworks. Basically, you will learn how to write and automate tests for your implementations. After that, we shift the paradigm and see how to write your tests before implementation itself. We explore how to add full test support to our projects, as well. Through practical examples, you will witness how this technique helps us write higher-quality code. In the final sections of this course, you will learn proven methods and patterns for writing modular and testable code. The principles of TDD will help you write better and cleaner code. In addition, you’ll see how solid tests give you a new sense of confidence when you need to modify existing code, refactor, and add new features.
By the end of this course, you will have the tools you need to start building bulletproof applications, backed by an automated suite of tests to ensure quality software delivery.

The third course, C# 7.x Tips, Tricks, and Techniques will teach you to implement practical and proven techniques to improve particular aspects of C# 7.x development. Each section covers tips and techniques with explicit instructions to carry out different C# 7.x tasks in a practical manner. The techniques are demonstrated using small practical examples. You will boost your skills with information on enhancing your coding style and performance, and learn about C# 7.x processes and code quality. This course focuses on discovering new possibilities with C# 7.x, that can enhance your current skill set. By the end of this course, you will have learned some exciting tips, best practices, and techniques for your C# 7.x coding. You will be able to build your own desktop applications in C# 7.x much faster and with ease.
