On completion of the course, the student should be able to demonstrate knowledge of:

• advanced features of .NET programming using the C# language,

• multilayered architecture with good performance and usability

On completion of the course, students should be able to demonstrate ability to:

• develop well-designed GUI applications using the advanced features of Windows Forms and WPF

• develop .NET applications utilizing the advanced features of C# such as generic data structures, delegates, events and lambda expressions.

Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to:

• analyse and evaluate different solutions with respect to design and quality of the software.

• compare different solutions as to the overall architecture of an application as well as the choice of a suitable EF model.

The course consists of video lectures, programming exercises, mandatory quizzes and mandatory assignments.

Requirements for Pass (A-E): Passed grade in Assignment Part 1 (4 credits), Part 2 (2 credits), and passed quizzes (1.5 credits).

The final course grade will be based on a weighted result of all individual assignments.
