Welcome to ONLC Training Centers

Learn Programming with C# Classes


C# (pronounced C Sharp) is a general-purpose, object-oriented computer programming language. C# was designed for building a wide range of applications and it is favored among developers as it's especially easy for building Windows desktop applications and games. Developed by Microsoft, C# can be applied to any open source platform.

Learn and advance your C# programming skills with live, hands-on C# certification classes with ONLC. C# training is led and supported by an online professional instructor who has years of programming and teaching experience. Those who don't have a programming background can learn to write good syntax in code constructs, utilize arrays and methods and more in our C# Introduction for Non-Programmers course while those with any programming background can learn and benefit from our traditional C# Introduction for Programmers class. From there move onto Advanced C# Programming training course so you can learn reflection and dynamic programming, multithreading, asynchronous programming plus Lambdas, LINQ, and Functional Programming.

C# is simple and powerful. With its many innovations, C# enables rapid application development while retaining the expressiveness and elegance of C-style languages. It is remarkably scalable, consistent and easy to maintain.

Get on your way to an IT career building mobile apps, desktop apps, cloud-based services, websites, enterprise software and games by attending C# programming classes with ONLC.

This is an introductory programming course provides a strong foundation that would allow students to further their skills with additional education. This course describes how to use the Visual Studio environment, and how to write good syntax in code constructs within that environment. In addition, important object-oriented concepts will be introduced. The course will conclude by incorporating database connectivity into .NET applications.

Audience Profile
This course is intended for both novice programmers and more experience programmers looking to get familiar with C# and object-oriented principles.

At Course Completion
After completing this course, students will be able to:
• Comfortably navigate the Visual Studio environment
• Visually design, code, and test a Windows Forms Application
• Understand data types and choose when different types are appropriate
• Use code structures such as conditional statements and loops
• Create methods and handle events
• Utilize Arrays and Collections
• Respond to runtime errors and validate user data
• Create and use classes
