Overview/Description
In this course, you'll explore techniques for writing secure code, including how to use assertions, create defensible methods, write proper if and switch statements, use exceptions, and anticipate and handle errors in your C# code. During the course you will discover how to employ iterative design, pseudo code, assertions, pre- and post-conditions, testable code, parameters, return values, and variable declarations. Find out how to apply IF and SWITCH statements. Learn to create a C# application that incorporates error codes and messages into its error handlers. Recognize how to anticipate errors. Finally, learn to develop error processes, use global objects, and apply local error handlers.

Target Audience
Individuals interested in learning the fundamental concepts of secure programming, or experienced programmers wishing to refresh or improve their skills. Previous programming experience with C/C++ or .NET may be beneficial.
