Basics of C#

• To provide foundational knowledge of the C# programming language and its applications in modern software development.
• To familiarize students with the .NET Framework and C#'s role in it.
• To introduce key programming concepts, including variables, data types, operators, and control statements.
• To build an understanding of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles such as inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction, and encapsulation.
• To equip learners with practical skills in using C# features such as arrays, strings, tuples, indexers, and properties.
• To develop problem-solving skills by applying C# concepts to write efficient and maintainable code.

• Students will demonstrate a strong understanding of the C# programming language syntax and structure.
• Learners will be able to write C# programs using control statements, loops, and operators effectively.
• Participants will gain practical experience in applying OOP principles through C# classes, objects, and advanced concepts like polymorphism and encapsulation.
• Students will develop proficiency in working with C# collections, arrays, and advanced features like tuples and indexers.
• Graduates of the course will be able to implement real-world programming tasks and problem-solving techniques using C#.
• Students will be prepared for further studies or professional work in software development utilizing the C# language.
• Course Introduction:
• The "KLiC Certificate in Basics of C Sharp (C#)" course is designed to introduce learners to the fundamentals of C#, a versatile and widely used programming language developed by Microsoft. This course provides a structured approach to understanding the language, starting from basic syntax to advanced concepts like object-oriented programming and data manipulation. Students will learn how to design, develop, and debug C# applications. With a focus on core programming principles and efficient coding practices, the course prepares students for a strong foundation in software development, enabling them to tackle real-world projects with confidence.

The academic approach of the courses focuses on the “work-centric” education i.e. begin with work (and not from a book!), derive knowledge from work and apply that knowledge to make the work more wholesome, useful and delightful. The ultimate objective is to empower the Learner to engage in socially useful and productive work. It aims at leading the learner to his/her rewarding career as an employee or entrepreneur as well as development of the community to which s/he belongs. Learning methodology:

• Step -1: Learners are given an overview of the course and its connection to life and work.
• Step -2: Learners are exposed to the specific tool(s) used in the course through the various real-life applications of the tool(s).
• Step -3: Learners are acquainted with the careers and the hierarchy of roles they can perform at workplaces after attaining increasing levels of mastery over the tool(s).
• Step -4: Learners are acquainted with the architecture of the tool or tool map so as to appreciate various parts of the tool, their functions, utility and inter-relations.
• Step -5: Learners are exposed to simple application development methodology by using the tool at the beginner’s level.
• Step -6: Learners perform the differential skills related to the use of the tool to improve the given ready-made industry-standard outputs.
• Step -7: Learners are engaged in appreciation of real-life case studies developed by the experts.
• Step -8: Learners are encouraged to proceed from appreciation to imitation of the experts.
• Step -9: After the imitation experience, they are required to improve the expert’s outputs so that they proceed from mere imitation to emulation.
• Step-10: Emulation is taken a level further from working with differential skills towards the visualization and creation of a complete output according to the requirements provided. (Long Assignments)
• Step-11: Understanding the requirements, communicating one’s own thoughts and presenting are important skills required in facing an interview for securing a work order/job. For instilling these skills, learners are presented with various subject-specific technical as well as HR-oriented questions and encouraged to answer them.
• Step-12: Finally, they develop the integral skills involving optimal methods and best practices to produce useful outputs right from scratch, publish them in their ePortfolio and thereby proceed from emulation to self-expression, from self-expression to self-confidence and from self-confidence to self-reliance and self-esteem!
