Distributed and service-based programming techniques are critical in an ever-connected world.

Learn to leverage the .NET Framework to design and develop Internet-enabled applications that can communicate with all forms of devices from workstations and servers to tablets and phones. With WCF you can quickly create web services using the latest WS* specifications and SOAP. The Web API leverages HTTP to create robust RESTful services, popular for cross-platform compatibility.

Course Highlights:

  • Design, configure, deploy and consume WCF services and use them to create and consume Data services for the web
  • Design, configure, deploy and consume RESTful applications using the Web API
  • Advanced security techniques including  OAuth and federated security
  • Cloud deployment using WCF and the Web API with Azure
 

Course Benefits:

  • Gain a fundamental understanding of distributed programming architecture and n-tier deployment
  • Learn how to create efficient server-side applications that provide universal functionality and data to modern programs and apps
  • Develop client-side applications that can leverage servers using multiple protocols
 

Software:

  • Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise recommended.  While Windows 10 Home will work for C# I, the more advanced C# courses will require Pro or higher.
  • Visual Studio Community Edition 2017 or later which is freely available on Microsoft's website: https://www.visualstudio.com/
 

Hardware:

  • Intel/AMD multi-core processor (i3 or better processor)
  • 8GB RAM minimum, 16GB preferred
  • 50GB free hard drive space for Visual Studio and project files
 

Course Typically Offered: Online during Winter and Summer quarter

Prerequisites:  Recommended "C# Programming I: Fundamentals of C#" and "C# Programming II: Object-Oriented Programming".

Next steps:  Upon completion of this course, consider taking consider taking other courses in the C# Programming Certificate.
