Advanced C# Programming Concepts

This unit extends core C# knowledge into advanced language features, object-oriented design, collections, I/O, and tooling. Students will apply modern C# 10 constructs (records, tuples, ref returns, anonymous methods), data structures, debugging and binding techniques to build robust, maintainable applications and prepare for capstone projects or further engineering programming work.

Learning Objectives

• Analyze and implement advanced object-oriented features (constructors, inheritance, interfaces, records, nested classes, and access modifiers) to design well-organized C# programs
• Apply modern C# language constructs (anonymous and static anonymous functions, covariant return types, throw expressions, expression-bodied members, ref returns, and tuples) to simplify and improve program logic
• Demonstrate competence with data handling and I/O by using collections (lists, dictionaries, initializers), streams, string/char manipulation and formatting, console/WPF input-output, and file operations
• Evaluate and use debugging, tooling, and modularization techniques (debugger, partial methods, namespaces, static members, Jupyter and online C# tools) to test, document, and refine applications
