The C# Programming Language

• 26 hrs seminar
• 13 hrs projects

• 100 pts projects

Students will learn how to apply modern programming approaches in .NET platform using C# language. After class completion, students will be ready to tackle real-world programming challenges with a new perspective based on object-oriented principles and to apply design patterns to architecture design.
Working in a team simulates real work assignments, teaches students coordination and enforces the use of agile methodologies.  Main take offs are object-oriented workflows in C# and .NET platform, application of design patterns and utilization of persistence data providers.

The goal of this class is to teach students' basics of object-oriented programming in the C# language.

This course is intended for students interested in programming with modern high-abstract language to extend their value on the market. C# increases on its popularity rapidly thanks to its multiplatform runtime .NET Core. Language combines multiple programming paradigms like object orientation with components of functional programming. A student will try to cooperate with his teammates on a real-life project with agile management, source control, and design patterns application. After this course, the student is able to create a desktop application connected to a database that will not shame him.

• Project evaluation is divided into three parts.
• Each part will be evaluated separately and feedback given to students for further improvements in the following phases.
• Phases are marked by 20, 30, 50 points.
• Final project (the third phase) evaluation is an oral defence.

Exam prerequisites:

• At least 1 point of each project evaluation part
• Obtain at least 50% of a apoint from orverall project evaluation

• Team project 3-5 members in the Azure DevOps environment.
• Implemented using CleanCode and S.O.L.I.D. principles.
• The implementation consists of a fully functional desktop application heading OOP principles with database persisted storage.
• In case of forewarned complications students can ask for an extension of the deadline for any part of the project.

• At least 1 point of each project evaluation part
• Obtain at least 50% of a apoint from orverall project evaluation
