Synopsis:

The goal of this course is to provide students with the knowledge and skills they need to develop C# applications for the Microsoft .NET Platform. It is an advanced course for students who are already familiar with object-oriented programming and basic Web programming techniques. The lectures provide an overview of Microsoft's .NET technology, the fundamental issues in developing applications in Windows and Web environment and they are based on the syntax and structure of C#, which was created to be the programming language best suited for writing enterprise applications for .NET. It combines the high productivity of Microsoft Visual Basic with the raw power of C++. It is simple, object-oriented, and type-safe programming language that is based on the C and C++ family of languages. It also allows linking of C++ modules. The course will begin in the summer semester of 2008/9 academic year. Its actual schedule will be presented at web page: https://moodle.dce.fel.cvut.cz/course/view.php?id=31
