Introduction to .NET Programming Training

Course 502

  • Duration: 3 days
  • Labs: Yes
  • Language: English
  • Level: Foundation

This Introduction to .NET Programming training course provides hands-on programming experience in C# or VB.NET for individuals with little or no software development background. Using the latest technology and the popular Visual Studio development environment, the training produces all three levels of a complete application. Starting with the most fundamental elements of computer programming, you learn how to write, debug and test code to generate graphical user interfaces, implement controllers for business logic and access relational databases - all of the elements of virtually any program.

Participants can use either C# or VB – the Microsoft .NET core languages. Both include database access using Language Integrated Query (LINQ) via the industry-leading Entity Framework (EF).

Of special note, this course combines adaptive learning (AdaptaLearn) with the use of Generative AI (Chat.OpenAI) to accelerate your pace of learning and ensure you are highly productive the moment you return to work. A post-course AI-driven hands-on practicum is provided for ongoing practice and improvement.
