What's New in C#7 Course | DevelopIntelligence

Course Summary

The course begins with an overview of the C# languages - key features and basic principles. Students will then explore the new features added to the language in C# version 7 through two principal actions. The course will then explore the rationale for a new feature - why was it added; what does it add or take away from the language. Students will also learn how to use the new features through side-by-side coding - showing the new feature and similar features from the previous version of C#. Finally, the course reviews how the changes in C# are driving changes in the software development process itself, as well as emerging best practices for upgrading to C# 7.

This course is designed for technology professionals with a solid understanding of C# and at least an intermediate experience level in software development in the .NET ecosystem. No prior study or experience with C# 7 is required. The course will be instructor-led; a significant portion of the course time will be taken up in practical coding labs, and there will be time for Q&A and class discussion surrounding architecture and development approaches in this new version of the language.
