Developing any type of application usually requires a common set of functionality, for example reading and writing files, parsing XML/JSON, calling a web API, or other similar methods. In this course, .NET BCL Fundamentals, you’ll learn to use the built-in .NET libraries, also known as base class libraries (BCL). First, you’ll explore the common type system. Next, you’ll discover how to work with input and output including how to parse files from various data interchange formats. Then, you’ll learn how to work with and query data. Next, you’ll explore the security related namespaces. You will then move forward into network programming. Additionally, you’ll learn about how to globalize and localize applications. Then, you will explore how to debug an application as well as how to create multithreaded applications. Finally, you’ll explore some lesser known System and Microsoft namespaces that may come in handy from time to time. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of how to avoid reinventing the wheel by using the built-in .NET base class libraries needed to create an amazing .NET application.
