  • Strings (Unicode), control flow constructs, arrays and other complex data types. Value and reference types. C# type system.
  • Advanced concepts. Static and sealed methods. Delegates and anonymous methods. Elementary containers.
  • Container classes and generics. The benefits of strongly typed containers.
  • Base Class Library Overview.
  • Error handling, exception handling, debugging constructs.
  • Programming with Views and Windows.Forms.
  • Programming networked applications, sockets, remoting, web services.
  • Overview of the CLI standard
  • Common Type System and Base Class Library, supported features, levels of conformance.

Assessment methods (in Czech)
The lectures provide basic information on the topic, which is further extended in seminars. Also, homeworks and topics for self-study may be presented to students. The solutions to homeworks are provided in seminars, however students who manage to work out the homework solutions independently will gain bonus points. Examination is written and consists of two parts: a multi-choice test and two tasks for solving. Students can earn 100 points plus any bonus points from seminars. The exact requirements for passing the exam (in terms of points) will be provided at the examination.
