Course Description

This course introduces the student to advanced concepts of object-oriented programming (OOP) using the C# programming language. Students will investigate and evaluate various program design methodologies and apply them to programming problems using C#. C# features that will be covered include language syntax, encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, graphics, multi-threading, files, streams, and networking. This course is designed for students who wish to further develop their C# programming skills.

By successfully completing this course you will earn 3 units of college credit.

 Course Objectives

• Develop a program design using any of the following program design methodologies (PDM): structured programming, functional decomposition, Class-Responsibility-Collaborator (CRC) design for complex programming problems.
• Design structured computer programs.
• Design and prepare C# programs that appropriately demonstrate exception handling.
• Construct a C# program that uses advanced graphical user interface components to interact with users.
• Create standard and complex input/output operations in C#.
• Compose and synchronize multi-threaded C# applications.
• Compose a program that Uses inheritance to create custom objects.
• Produce a program that applies the concepts of polymorphism to create custom C# controls.
• Design a C# program that uses network sockets to communicate with remote computers.

 Course Learning Outcomes

• Create data files via a C# program (based on a problem/case scenario).
• Read data from data files.
• Write data to data files.
• Research and identify some advanced aspect of the C# programming language.
• Prepare a technical report or presentation on some advanced aspect of the C# programming language.
• Research and identify career paths related to the C# program of study.
• Document career paths related to the C# program of study, as well as any qualifications and/or professional certifications that may be associated withthose careers.
