Students learn the basics of C# such as data types, arrays, methods, structures, enums, classes, inheritance, interfaces, namespaces, and exception handling.

Students also learn to develop applications using the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF): how to size, position UI elements and design layouts, and develop code that interacts with input devices. They will also write programs to manage content such as text, images, media, and speech. Other programming exercises include styles as well as data binding and data presentation.
