During the coming semester (Autumn 2011) I am going to deliver a detailed C# course in Tel-Hai. This course is delivered as part of Tel-Hai Computers Science BSc academic program. It is an introductory course to software development using the .NET framework and the C# programming language. We are going to cover the fundamental topics [...]
During the past 2 years I have been working on a short practical guide for learning C#. The guide includes texts and video clips. The texts were written in Hebrew. The video clips were taken in Hebrew as well. You can find it at www.CSharpBook.co.il. I have recently upgraded this website.
I was recently asked ‘what is your recommendation for the first programming language to teach in a three years academic program?’. Thinking about this question, it was clear to me the programming language itself is just a tool and the topics been taught are the ones that should be in question. Unlike many others, I believe [...]

The Visual Studio already includes the support for implementing unit tests for the code we write. The resemblance with the JUnit framework is amazing. If you are already familiar with the JUnit framework you will find microsoft implementation smooth and easy to use. I hope the following video clip will assist you doing the first [...]
When developing a server side application in .NET that handles high volume of traffic there is always a place to consider the implementation of the Asynchronous Method pattern. Implementing this pattern will allow our application to handle a bigger number of clients. I have just updated the Asynchronous Methods slides in my C# Fundamentals course, [...]
Tuples were introduced in .NET 4.0. While arrays hold objects of the same type, tuples can hold objects of different types. The eight different generic Tuple classes are available for the purposes of having tuples with diferent number of types. Once a tuple was created the type of its fields cannot be changed. In a [...]
The ArraySegment struct assists us when working with segments of arrays. Instead of handling the offset and the number of elements separately for each segment we can instantiate the ArraySegment struct and get an object that describes a specific segment. The following video clip explains that. More code samples, slides and video clips about this [...]
