The C# .NET Developer certificate program focuses on the skills needed to become a successful C# developer with the .NET framework. Students will learn to create distributed applications and dynamic web applications with the .NET platform using C# and Visual Studio. Coverage begins with an introduction to the C# programming language, built in data types, operators, control structures, classes and methods, collections and exception handling. Students will develop Windows Forms and Web-based applications, including coverage of the MVC programming framework as well as the .NET Core framework for web applications using ASP.NET Core MVC. Advanced topics include the Entity Framework, Web API, Test Driven Development, using LINQ, data persistence, and working with object-based collections and generics collections. The C# .NET Developer certificate program also covers how to access relational databases and make sophisticated data queries using SQL.
Students are first taught fundamental programming concepts and then are exposed to important programming techniques such as object-oriented design and handling exceptions (runtime errors). Comprehensive hands-on exercises are provided throughout the courses to reinforce learning and develop real competency. A personal facilitator is assigned to you at the start of each course. Your personal facilitator is an instructor who is there to answer questions, assist with any issues that arise, and mentor you through the program to assure success.
Bright Star’s C# Microsoft .NET Developer certificate program provides a comprehensive knowledge of not only C# as a language, but also coding skills such as SQL and algorithmic programming that are important for career advancement in the fields of Information Technology and Software Development.
SQL proficiency is a skill that is often overlooked by many coding bootcamps, despite databases being a crucial component of most large-scale software. Bright Star students gain a solid understanding of relational database design concepts, SQL syntax, and construction of complex SQL queries using a variety of techniques such as unions, subqueries, and aggregations. Coverage also includes the creation and use of stored procedures, functions, views and triggers.
Upon completion of the C# Developer certificate program, students will have developed a flexible and sophisticated skillset regarding the C# language and the .NET framework. Equipped with a robust knowledge base and plenty of hands-on development experience, students will be able to pursue an entry-level C# .NET programmer position in the workforce with confidence. The C# certificate program will also provide students with more advanced skills and techniques related to programming (such as Test Driven Development), allowing students to stand out in the workplace as a knowledgeable C# developer once they have completed the program.
Our personally facilitated on-demand learning environment gives students the ability to work within their schedule and learn at their own pace to ensure a thorough understanding of C# and .NET.
