ITC518 Principles of Programming Using C# (8)

Abstract

This subject focuses on mobile application development using C# (C Sharp) programming principles. Students will apply advanced object-oriented programming techniques such as inheritance, polymorphism and interfaces to develop mobile applications. In addition, the subject also provides a deeper look into classes, objects, methods and graphical user interface (GUI) using C# in the context of mobile applications. The subject develops skills and capabilities for designing robust graphical user interface (GUI) programs in the C# object-oriented programming environment. The focus of the subject is to use Microsoft's .NET Framework with C# programming principles to develop applications for the latest Windows Phone platform. At the end of this subject, students will be able to design, create, analyse and debug Windows Phone based mobile applications using the C# programming language.
