C#.Net for Application Development

• Familiarity with basic programming concepts
• Empirical knowledge of PLC programming

Audience

• Programmers
• Application developers

C#.Net refers to the programming language C# used within the .NET framework (or .NET platform). It is a modern, object-oriented, and versatile programming language developed by Microsoft, primarily for building a wide variety of applications that run on the .NET platform.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level programmers who wish to develop applications in ASP.NET using C#.Net, transitioning from Visual Basic to create robust web interfaces and integrate PLC functionality for medical device projects.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Learn foundational and intermediate concepts of C#.Net.
• Enable participants to transition from Visual Basic to C#.
• Develop skills for creating applications using ASP.NET tailored to medical device interfaces.
• Strengthen understanding of linking PLC functionality with web-based interfaces.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
