• Creating Projects in Visual Studio 2008
• Coding in Visual Studio 2008
• Productivity Features in Visual Studio 2008
• Debugging Visual Studio Applications

Module 2: Implementing Classes, Properties and MethodsThis module explains classes and their importance in the basic structure of an object-oriented application. It also add properties and methods to implement the internal functionality of a class.

Lessons

• Creating Classes
• Implementing Properties Within a Class
• Implementing Methods Within a Class
• Using Classes, Properties and Methods

Module 3: Implementing Inheritance, Abstraction, and Polymorphism

This module explains how to implement inheritance, abstraction and polymorphism to reduce code duplication. It also describes how to create structures that emphasize code reusability.Lessons

• Introduction to Inheritance and Abstraction
• Implementing Inheritance and Abstraction
• Introduction to Polymorphism
• Implementing a Polymorphic Structure

Module 4: Implementing InterfacesThis module explains how to implement interfaces to establish common relationships between classes, reduce code dependencies, and facilitate code standardization.Lessons

• Introduction to Interfaces
• Implementing a Custom Interface

Module 5: Designing Object-Oriented Structures

This module explains the process of creating an object-oriented structure design from a business problem. It also describes how to create object-oriented structures based on their knowledge of classes, properties, methods, inheritance, and interfaces. And last, the students will review and refine their designs.

Lessons

• Establishing Classes from Business Requirements
• Adding Inheritance to the Design
• Adding Interfaces to the Design
• Reviewing and Refining the Design

Module 6: Delegates, Events, and ExceptionsThis module explains how to create and use delegates, events and exceptions to establish interclass communications.

Lessons

• Introduction to Delegates
• Implementing Delegates
• Introduction to Events
• Implementing Events
• Introduction to Exceptions
• Implementing Exceptions

Module 7: Designing Object Collaboration

This module explains how to design collaborations between classes by using methods, events, exceptions and delegates. It also introduces sequence diagrams as a way of documenting and planning class interactions.

Lessons

• Introduction to Class Interactions
• Adding Interactions to a Design
• Evaluating the Design
• Introduction to Patterns

Module 8: Deploying Components and Class Libraries

This module explains how to create and maintain updatable units of software by deploying components and class libraries. It also describes how to maintain an application without redeploying the entire application.

Lessons

• Introduction to Components and Class Libraries
• Deploying a Component/Class Library
• Best Practices for Deploying a Component/Class Library
