Jean-Paul Sylvain Boodhoo's five day (intense) Nothin’ but .NET Developer Boot Camp course will focus on applying .NET development best practices in the context of developing a working N-Tiered application. You will learn about how to practically apply .NET as you utitlise it to the task of building a complete application from the UI layer all the way down to the mapping layer.

You will learn techniques and tools that will dramatically increase your day to day productivity as a software developer. This course will focus on a code centric view of application development versus the typical databinding/designer magic covered by many typical .NET courses. You will walk away with a deep understanding of fundamental aspects of .NET and how these pieces can be used to develop and deliver enterprise scale applications.

Upon completion of this course you should be equipped with a practical, applied understanding of the following concepts:

• Interface Based Programming
• Behaviour Driven Development
• Layered Architecture
• Object Oriented Programming
• Design Patterns
• Unit Testing
• Interaction vs. State Based Testing
• Dependency Injection
• Domain Driven Design

Core Concepts Overview

• Expand the capabilities of developing with Visual Studio .NET - Enter ReSharper (a productivity add-in for Visual Studio .NET)
• There’s more to development than code generators

• Object Relational Mapping in .NET
• Creating layered architectures
• Driving out functionality and design through testing
• Taking Control Of Databinding
