	Trainer Information:
James Lee Carr is a Microsoft Certified Trainer with mcTrainers.NET. He specializes in authoring and delivering dynamic coursware for .NET programmers. He’s written C applications for the Sharp Zaurus handheld, C++ applications for Windows CE and C# applications for the desktop and the web. He’s been working with .NET since PDC 2000. In 2003 Microsoft designated him as a .NET Early Achiever. He currently designs data-driven distributed applications using ASP.NET and Sql Server. After graduating from Montclair State University in 1987 with a degree in Computer Science, I landed a lead programmer position with Dawson Home Fashions, a Scotland based international manufacturer. There I led a small programming team designing and successfully implementing SQL-based solutions to meet the requirements of many core business applications including Lot Manufacturing, Inventory, Product Distribution (EDI) and Cost Accounting. In 1994 I was hired by Synavant (now Dendrite) to create handheld solutions for their high profile clients. My first assignment was developing an on-line stock trading application for Ameritrade. For this client, I used my 'C' programming skills to target Sharp Zaurus devices. Subsequently, I used C++ and Windows CE running on Handheld PCs to create Sales Force Automation solutions for the following Pharmaceutical Corporations: Abbott Labs Merck Pharmacia Roche Upjohn In 1996 I achieved MCSE certification. In 2000 I attended Bill Gates' unveiling of the .NET Framework at the Professional Developer's Conference in Orlando which motivated me to focus on C# and ASP.NET development. In 2002, still at Synavant, I used C# to integrate MapPoint with Handheld applications used by Pharmaceutical Sales Representatives to graphicly identify appropriate physicians by location as well as demographics. In 2003 I achieved MCSD.NET and MCT certifications. Currently at mcTrainers.NET, I support CTECs by teaching .NET official curriculum.

	About This Course:
The course opens with a high-level introduction to the C# language. The "Jump Start" segment will familiarize you with building C# applications using Visual Studio 2005. You'll learn about the interacting roles of the C# Compiler, the .NET Class Library and the Common Type System. Level 2 covers the fundamentals of the C# language. You'll get a handle on the crucial distinction between Value-Type Variables and Reference-Type Variables. You'll learn how to use Flow Control Statements to manage the runtime execution of your C# code; don't forget that semicolon. And you'll get comfortable with defining and using Methods and Arrays. In Level 3 we explore the benefits and techniques of the OOP paradigm and how to leverage them in C# programs. Challenging concepts like class inheritance are clearly expounded by means of "hands-on" C# examples. Level 4 is a programmer's tour-de-force of Visual Studio 2005. From Toolbars to Breakpoints, you'll develop confidence with the tools of the development environment. In Level 5 we create a fully functional Windows Text Editor. This application becomes the basis for exploring the details of how to code a Windows application using C# 2005. You'll also learn how to catch runtime exceptions. And you'll get familiar with the new concepts introduced with C# 2005 like Generic Collections and Annonymous Methods. ClickOnce Deployment lets a user install a Windows App over the web and update it with a single click. These are only a few of the essentials that you'll master in this course and carry with you in your C# 2005 toolbox.
