Introduction to Programming with C#

Microsoft Curriculum Resources
1.0 Programming Language Fundamentals From Java to C# Interested in learning C#? These curriculum materials, build on your expertise in Java to introduce C#, .NET and Visual Studio. The curriculum consists of 12 modules covering approximately 15 hours of core ACM requirements. The modular curriculum facilitates as much or as little of the content to be used. Additional modules are expected in Fall 2011. In the interim, materials for the SIGCSE tutorial presentation including slides, demos and labs can be obtained here.

2.0 C# Development Rob Miles, a professor at the University of Hull, released his C# teaching materials free of charge. He called it the yellow book, since it is structured like a normal book, and made it available from www.csharpcourse.com. The book contains 185 pages and covers everything from how to start with C# (like the basic language constructs) to how to create user interfaces and components. It even includes how to encapsulate the logic of your application into business objects. The C# Book is used as the basis of the first year programming course by the Computer Science Department at the University of Hull. Textbook

The program is available in more than 160 countries worldwide. ADDITIONAL/SUPPLEMENTAL RESOURCES: C# 2008 and .NET Programming for Electronic Engineers, John Allwork, Elector. The materials and book cover the Visual Studio 2010 development environment, the .NET framework and C# programming language from data types and program flow to program debugging, file handling, databases, Internet communication, and plotting before moving to hardware interfacing using serial and parallel ports and the USB port. It includes a hardware design for a

simple oscilloscope using a parallel port and interfacing to analog and digital I/O using the USB port, and is aimed at engineers and scientists who want to learn about the .NET environment and C# programming. It is complete with many program examples, self-assessment exercises and references to supporting videos. Full program examples are available, as is support for university lecturers, in the form of PowerPoint presentations. Visit C# 2008 and .NET for Electronic Engineers support site by John Allwork. Digipen Train the Trainers Presentations This ten-session video presentation for instructors can give students a solid understanding of the concepts of C#. The material uses computer games as a medium to engage students. It guides teaching and learning through the use of graphic and non-graphic applications.
