C# Programming III: Advanced C# Programming

Master Memory Management, Asynchronous Programming, Distributed Computing and High-Performance Programming

Unlock the full potential of C# with C# Programming III: Advanced C# Programming. This course takes you beyond the basics, empowering you to build sophisticated, high-performance applications like real-time data processing systems, scalable web APIs, and cloud-integrated microservices. You will dive into advanced C# features such as multithreading, asynchronous programming, API development, and Azure integration, preparing you to tackle complex projects in fields such as finance, healthcare, and e-commerce. Whether you are developing scalable cloud applications or optimizing enterprise software, this course will give you the tools you need to succeed.

Course Highlights:

• Delegates, Events, and Lambda Expressions: Implement event-driven programming and functional-style code.
• LINQ (Language Integrated Query): Query collections and databases with powerful, concise syntax.
• Generics: Create flexible and reusable code with type-safe data structures.
• Object Lifetime & Memory Management: Manage resources efficiently for performance-critical applications.
• Reflection & Late Binding: Dynamically inspect and invoke methods at runtime.
• Dynamic Assemblies & Expression Trees: Generate code at runtime and build expression trees.
• Multithreading & Async Programming: Manage concurrency with threads, tasks, async/await, and synchronization.
• Microservice Architecture: Design scalable applications using SQL, Entity Framework, and configuration management.
• Azure Basics & CI/CD: Automate deployment with Git, pipelines, and Azure’s cloud services.

• Build scalable, real-time applications: Master multithreading and asynchronous programming, enabling you to develop responsive applications and optimize performance in data-heavy environments like financial trading platforms or e-commerce systems.
• Develop robust, secure APIs: Learn how to design, document, and consume RESTful APIs, essential for integrating systems and enabling microservices architecture, a key component in modern web and mobile applications.
• Leverage cloud-based development with Azure: Gain practical skills in continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) using Azure, Git, and pipelines, helping you deploy and maintain enterprise-level cloud applications seamlessly.
• Enhance software reliability and maintainability: Understand how to efficiently manage object lifetimes and memory, while leveraging reflection and late binding for dynamic, extensible applications.
