Object-oriented programming is a widely utilized programming paradigm and one of the main technical skills required to land a software engineering position in any IT company. This course equips you with the required technical skills to design and develop high-quality object-oriented software systems using the C# programming language. The course focuses on the C# programming language since it is one of the most used programming languages in the industry. With the C# programing language, you can create a wide range of software systems including Console applications, Windows desktop applications, mobile apps, TV apps, web applications, game programming, etc. The course starts with basic C# programming, then introduces the main concepts of object-oriented programming. After that, the course covers the arrays and generic data collections. Finally, the course covers the language integrated query (LINQ) concept in which you will be able to query data from various data sources. In addition to the in-video quizzes, at the end of each module, there will be a practice quiz and a graded programming assignment.

The majority of the software systems involve some kind of database transactions including storing and retrieving the data from a data source. Often time, a software engineers needs to learn more than one way to query the data. The LINQ language solves this problem by standardizing the way to query the data from a data source and hence making software engineers focus on the business logic. This module will provide a comprehensive description of the LINQ language and how to use it to query data from a data source.

Frequently asked questions
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
You will be eligible for a full refund until two weeks after your payment date, or (for courses that have just launched) until two weeks after the first session of the course begins, whichever is later. You cannot receive a refund once you’ve earned a Course Certificate, even if you complete the course within the two-week refund period. See our full refund policy.
