Best online course for C#/SQL for a professional engineer

Question

I know similar questions have been asked, but I've not been able to find information specific to my situation.

I'm looking for "continuing education"-type options, specifically a C# and/or SQL course. I'm a software engineering professional with a graduate level computer science degree. So I'm looking for something substantial that will be challenging. I certainly already have me feet wet in both C# and SQL I'm just looking for a more formal training to round out the edges. There is a good chance my company will pay for it if it is reasonably priced so it doesn't have to be free and preferably shouldn't be (a certificate or certification to come out of it would be nice).

When I tried Google, all I found were things that sounded like crash courses (like a 3 day course or course for "dummies"), or course that did not seem very credible. Can anyone recommend a course of action for this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Though it's not exactly an online course; MS certifications like the Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (MCPD) cover what you're looking for.

There's a plethora of training centers; some of which offer online training courses for the exams, I just can't recall one in particular right now. The self-paced training kits can be effective (if a bit dry to read at times) learning tools.

Answer 2

Try c# school from programmer's heaven. It is a very nice self explanatory book to learn c# basics skills by Faraz Rasheed. And then after reading that one you can move into more complexed books which you can easily understand if your basics are clear to you.
