Application Development With .NET Technologies

This learning-diary based bachelor’s thesis follows ten weeks of work in a large Nordic software company from the point of view of a web application development student working as a Windows desktop application developer. Having completed most of the preceding studies using technologies such as HTML, CSS, JS, and the most common frameworks used alongside them, working on a desktop product offers an interesting and different viewpoint on software development, where the same best practices and coding conventions have a slightly different implementation. Day-to-day tasks encountered during the writing of the thesis were mostly involved around WinForms and WPF development using C#, Visual Basic and XAML, with some Microsoft SQL items here and there as well. The body of the thesis consists of three main sections, them being a brief look into the technologies mentioned above, a section dedicated to the weekly learning diary entries which aim to condense the most relevant learning outcomes of each week, and a final conclusions section which in turn aims to coalesce the learning outcomes of the full picture presented by all ten weeks
