IT Certification Overview
This course provides a solid foundation in C# programming, equipping learners with the essential skills to write robust, maintainable code for the .NET Framework and .NET Core. With no prior object-oriented programming knowledge required, participants will progress from basic procedural syntax to key object-oriented concepts such as classes, constructors, and properties. The course focuses on the C# language itself—covering console applications, class libraries, and an introduction to unit testing—preparing learners to build on their skills in more advanced C# development. Through a blend of lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on exercises, learners will gain the confidence to create efficient and reliable C# applications.
