Programming in C# and .NET environment

The main purpose of the training is to provide participants with the skills and ability to create different applications using the C # language and a variety of technologies and frameworks

Training is held in English. 

Training in a nutshell:

The training provides an overview of the C # language, .NET and .NET Core platforms, and various programming frameworks and development tools. As a result, participants can create desktop and web applications. The participants will get acquainted with many different tools needed by developers and will acquire practical skills in using, for example, Visual Studio, VS Code and GIT-based code repositories/storages. The training also provides knowledge of the operating principles of databases and other repositories/storages and the corresponding interfaces.

Attendees will create – personally or in group – some desktop- and web application during the training.

Trainer introduction: 

Training Experience and Areas

Henn has been conducting trainings at IT Koolitus for over 25 years. He has previous training experience having shared his knowledge with Novell administrators for several years. At IT Koolitus, he has mainly, but not exclusively, focused on Microsoft products, ranging from regular users (Excel to Vision) to system administrators and programmers. However, his main expertise lies in databases (SQL) and business intelligence (BI, Excel).

Strengths as a Trainer

Despite standing in front of the class for 25+ years, Henn has not lost touch with everyday life: he has established a development company and successfully sold it; he has consulted and implemented systems in several companies, owns a farm, and organizes badminton tournaments. Maintaining his connection with real life experiences helps Henn be an expert and a reliable source when sharing knowledge. His own ability to learn and him having completed over 60 professional exams allows him to understand learners excellently and serves as a strength for a trainer.
