C# Programming II: Object-Oriented Programming

CSE-40603

Mastering object-oriented principles and core C# techniques for real-world applications

Take your C# programming skills to the next level with C# Programming II: Object-Oriented Programming. This course builds on the fundamentals of C# and delves deeper into Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles. Designed for learners with a basic understanding of C#, this course focuses on intermediate and advanced OOP concepts, preparing you to develop more robust, maintainable, and scalable applications. Whether you are aspiring to be a software developer or looking to enhance your existing skill set, this course will equip you with essential techniques to succeed in the world of software development.

Course Highlights

This course covers a broad range of topics to ensure you gain comprehensive knowledge of C# OOP concepts:
  • Intermediate OOP: Composition, interfaces, and deconstruction techniques to structure classes and manage data.
  • Advanced OOP: Inheritance, polymorphism, method overrides, advanced class behaviors (virtual, abstract, sealed), Operator overloading, conversions, and extension methods for enhancing class functionality.
  • Assemblies and Libraries: Understanding assembly architecture and creating/using assemblies for modular code.
  • Design Patterns: Key design patterns: creational, structural, and behavioral to improve software architecture.
  • I/O and Serialization: Working with configuration files, file management, and data serialization.
  • Software Reliability: Implementing unit testing and validation for reliable, bug-free code.
  • Utility Classes: Utilizing collections, mathematical operations, and random number generation.

Course Benefits

By completing this course, you will:
  • Master advanced OOP concepts: Apply inheritance, polymorphism, and design patterns to create efficient, scalable applications in real-world scenarios, from enterprise software to mobile app development.
  • Structure your applications for maintainability: Learn how to design and implement modular systems using assemblies and libraries, skills critical in developing complex, multi-tiered software used in businesses and organizations.
  • Gain hands-on experience with I/O operations and serialization: Manage files, directories, and data serialization—key tasks for applications involving databases, file systems, or cloud storage.
  • Build reliable, bug-free software: Implement unit testing and validation techniques to ensure your code is robust, a requirement for developing professional-grade software in industries such as finance, healthcare, and e-commerce.
  • Leverage utility classes: Work with collections, mathematical functions, and random number generation to enhance applications such as gaming systems, statistical software, and data-driven platforms.
