Migrating to C# 4.0 for Java and C++ developers

About this course

Tech type Performance Plus
Course code QAJAVCSMIG
Duration 4 Days

This 4-day instructor-led course is aimed at developers who are already experienced with either the Java or C language and are looking to cross-skill to C#6/Visual Studio 2017.

In addition to the language elements themselves, the course also covers some of the common technologies within the .NET4.7.1 Framework that will enable delegates to make to use the language effectively.

The course is presented as a mixture of lectures and hands-on exercises. Practical sessions follow all the main topics, designed to reinforce the points covered.
