MOC 10975 - Introduction to Programming
In this Introduction to Programming training class, students use C# to learn the basics of computer programming. No prior programming experience is required for this course. Students will learn about computer storage, data types, decision structures, repetition by using loops and object-oriented programming.
This course is intended for individuals who are new to software development and need to learn about programming fundamentals and object-oriented programming concepts.
- Learn to explain core programming fundamentals such as computer storage and processing.
- Learn to explain computer number systems such as binary.
- Learn to create and use variables and constants in programs.
- Learn to explain how to create and use functions in a program.
- Learn to create and use decisions structures in a computer program.
- Learn to create and use repetition (loops) in a computer program.
- Learn to explain pseudocode and its role in programming.
- Learn to explain the basic computer data structures such as arrays, lists, stacks, and queues.
- Learn to implement object-oriented programming concepts.
- Learn to create and use classes in a computer program.
- Learn to implement encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism.
- Learn to describe the base class library (BCL) in the .NET Framework.
- Learn to explain the application security concepts.
- Learn to implement simple I/O in a computer program.
- Learn to identify application errors and explain how to debug an application and handle errors.
- Learn to identify the performance considerations for applications.
