Quick Enrol

You Will Learn How To

  • Implement proven methods to build adaptable, reliable and efficient .NET Web and smart client applications
  • Solve complex programming problems with industry-standard design patterns
  • Deliver bug-free code using test-driven development in Visual Studio
  • Create layered architectures for reusability and avoiding functional overlap
  • Apply best practices for improved class design
  • Simplify and automate repetitive tasks

Course Benefits

Knowledge of the .NET languages and libraries alone is not enough to develop robust applications. Proven design patterns and best practices, distilled from the wisdom of experts, support you in building applications upon a solid foundation. This course provides the skills needed to solve real-world software development problems and deliver fast, reliable applications.

Who Should Attend

Programmers, system architects and anyone developing .NET applications. Programming experience at the level of Course 419, "C# Programming," or Course 503, "Visual Basic Programming for .NET," is assumed.

Hands-On Training

You gain experience implementing .NET best practices and design patterns. Exercises, completed in VB or C#, include:
  • Reconciling diverse processing problems with the Strategy pattern
  • Simplifying a complex system with the Facade pattern
  • Exploiting Microsoft Entity Framework for data access and updates
  • Creating a Business Domain Object Model
  • Building automated test cases
  • Structuring a testable user interface with the Model View Controller pattern
  • Capturing and reusing tests within Visual Studio
