About the Course

This course provides the skills needed to create a robust Back-end solution using the .NET Framework coupled with the C# programming language. Candidates will be given the knowledge needed to utilise basic data types, data structures and control structures required to produce a Back-end solution. Widely used tools and Back-end specific frameworks will also be covered, such as ASP.NET and Entity Framework, which streamline development. 

Familiarity with frameworks, libraries and tools is essential to developing most modern Back-end software projects when productivity is considered. This course provides candidates with the essential knowledge needed to build a Back-end solution with the .NET framework and its associated tools. It also enables the candidate to transition to a similar framework with the knowledge of the high-level concepts it is based on.

Learning Activities

Digital Learning Resources
The learning management system (LMS) is the primary learning platform where students access most of their course materials. The content is presented in various formats, such as text, images, models, videos or podcasts. Each course follows a progression plan, designed to lead students through weekly modules at their own pace. Exercises and assignments (individual or in groups) are embedded throughout the courses to support continuous practice and assessment of the learning outcomes.

Campus Resources
In addition to the digital learning resources, campus students participate in physical learning activities led by teachers as part of the overall delivery.

Guidance
Guidance and feedback from teachers support students' learning journeys, and may be provided synchronously or asynchronously, individually or in groups, via text, video or in-person feedback.
