Introduction to Programming in C# | Basics For Non-Developers
Learn and elevate your coding skills!
Companies are constantly challenged to keep their applications, development projects, products, services (and programmers!) up to speed with the latest industry tools, skills, technologies and practices to stay ahead in the ever-shifting markets that make up today’s fiercely competitive business landscape. The need for application, web and mobile developers and coders is seemingly endless as technologies regularly change and grow to meet the modern needs of demanding industries and clients. This C# .Net training course is perfect for beginners and non-developers to get started.
There are hundreds of roles that reply on coding knowledge and programming skills. Having programming skills can enable you to:
- Develop applications and contribute to application development projects and teams
- Integrate, change. expand or maintain outsourced development work being brought back in house
- Use or maintain software, tools, systems or networks that require coding skills to operate, handle data or complete other tasks
- Collaborate and communication more effectively with developers
- More effectively manage development teams or projects that involve programming
This ‘skills-centric’ course is about 50% hands-on lab and 50% lecture designed to train attendees in core C development skills, coupling the most current, effective techniques with the soundest coding practices. Students will explore a series of progressively advanced topics, where each topic consists of lecture, group discussion, practical hands-on lab exercises, and lab review.
