The goal of this course is to teach existing C developers how to write applications for the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.x by using Managed Extensions for C . The course teaches the language differences between standard C and Managed Extensions for C , and focuses on issues such as efficiency and optimization. The course also discusses interoperability with unmanaged code, and shows how to use COM effectively in managed code.
