Are you looking for ways to level up your C# coding? In this course, programming expert Joe Marini guides you through how to use interfaces and generics in C#. Joe explains that interfaces and generics both are used to construct flexible classes. He walks you through how to define and implement an interface, how to use an interface when casting one C# class to another type, how to implement more than one interface for a C# class, and more. Joe describes how interfaces keep your code nimble, compact, and efficient, while generics are used to create code that is more maintainable and easier to read. Joe shows you how to use C# list generics to create type-save lists of objects. He also covers how to use the generic versions of the queue and stack data structures, as well as how to use the generic versions of the queue and stack data structures. Interfaces and generics make your C# projects easier to build and scale, with fewer bugs and performance issues along the way.

Programmers spend much of their time solving problems, yet they may wind up solving the same problems over and over again. In C++, design patterns can help programmers save their valuable time with classes of programming problems that have similar solutions. Once developers learn these patterns, they can write software more efficiently and make more deliberate software designs. In this course, instructor Shaun Wassell goes in-depth on behavioral design patterns. Shaun begins by explaining design patterns in general and behavioral design patterns in particular. For each behavioral design pattern discussed in this course, he covers the basic idea behind the pattern, what the pattern looks like in code, some real-world examples of how you could use the pattern, and the pattern’s benefits and tradeoffs. Shaun concludes by showing you how some of these behavioral patterns can be combined and some of the benefits and drawbacks of doing so.

Many types of resources, including virtual machines, databases, and storage, can be deployed in a cloud computing environment. This course teaches you the skills necessary to design and deploy cloud solutions that meet business needs, through cloud-related concepts discussions and hands-on cloud service deployments. This course maps to the first domain in the CSA Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) exam: Cloud Computing Concepts and Architecture. First, instructor Daniel Lachance defines cloud computing as IT services running on a provider equipment over a network. He clarifies several terms and concepts used in cloud computing. Next, Daniel examines the characteristics of cloud computing, including several NIST cloud computing characteristics. He explores a variety of cloud types that can be used for cloud computing delivery, depending on organizational requirements.
