Overview/Description
Program flow and execution are often dependent upon having to make decisions at runtime. In this course, you will learn how to use the common decision structures available in most programming languages, including If and Switch statements, and For and While loops. In addition, you will also learn how to work with programming techniques such as recursion, exception handling, number randomization, and sorting algorithms. Finally, you will learn how alerts and events are used in Windows Forms applications. This course is one of a series in the SkillSoft learning path that covers the objectives for the Microsoft certification exam Software Development Fundamentals (Exam 98-361), which is part of the Microsoft Technology Associate (MTA) certification track.

Target Audience
Individuals interested in the Microsoft Technology Associate (MTA) certification track; programmers and developers who want to better understand software development; individuals interested in learning the fundamental skills needed in software development
