C# Programming Level 1: Introduction for Non-Programmers Course Outline

Overview
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
• Utilize inheritance
• Understand the basics of database connectivity
• Use ADO.NET to write custom data access code (If Time Permits)

Prerequisites
Before attending this course, it is recommended that students:
• Have comfort in navigating around a Windows computer system
• Prior programming experience is not required, but helps provide some perspective
If you have prior programming experience, you should consider our regular Introduction to C# course. For details on this alternative faster paced course for programmers course, go to
