Course Overview
The Microsoft C# and ADO.NET course is designed for developers, software engineers, and database application specialists seeking to master data-driven application development using Microsoft technologies. This course prepares candidates for foundational and role-based certifications such as the Microsoft Applied Skills: Develop data-driven applications using Microsoft Azure SQL Database and supports pathways toward Azure Developer Associate (AZ-204). Ideal for professionals with basic C# experience, it equips learners with critical skills in database connectivity, data manipulation, and secure data access. According to Microsoft, over 80% of enterprise applications built on the .NET platform rely on ADO.NET for data access, underscoring its widespread adoption across industries.
Learners engage with core Microsoft tools and platforms including Visual Studio, .NET SDK, Azure SQL Database, SQL Server Express LocalDB, and the SqlClient Data Provider. The hands-on lab environment, hosted in the Azure Portal and Visual Studio IDE, enables students to build functional data applications from scratch. Participants configure connection strings securely, design relational database schemas, and implement CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations using ADO.NET commands and DataReaders. A key project involves developing a Windows Forms application that connects to an Azure SQL Database, retrieves customer and order data via parameterized queries, and uses stored procedures to modify records—mirroring real-world enterprise application workflows.
This course strengthens career readiness by preparing developers for Microsoft’s in-demand certifications, which are recognized by employers like Accenture, Deloitte, and Infosys in their .NET hiring criteria. Certified professionals report average salary increases of 15–20%, with mid-level .NET developers earning between $85,000 and $110,000 annually in the U.S. Koenig Solutions enhances learning with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official Microsoft courseware, and 1-on-1 mentoring, ensuring mastery of both exam objectives and practical implementation. Upon completion, developers are equipped to design secure, high-performance data applications, positioning them for advancement into cloud development, full-stack engineering, or database architect roles.
