Eiffel Console Programming for C# / OO Developers
What you'll learn
- Learn Eiffel from scratch. Leverage your skills in C#/C++/Java/JavaScript to learn Eiffel, the simplest and most powerful OO language.
- Examples galore. Tons of examples, in both Eiffel 24.05 and C# for .NET Core.
- Text based course with some videos. It is easier to skim text, rather than speed up videos. When reading, no issues with accents.
- Learn classes, design by contract, single inheritance, exception handling, multiple inheritance, repeated inheritance and more.
- Seamlessness lets you you Eiffel for analysis, design and implementation. No other language can do that. Eliminate playing "Telephone" with your clients.
- Write applications that work the first time, every time. Add new features easily, keeping maintenance costs low.
- Have real reusability of classes, where on future projects, you gain the benefit of reuse, with the ability to lower costs, bring it to production quicker.
Requirements
- Students should have some experience with an Object Oriented language, ideally C#, but C++, Java, JavaScript or Object Pascal will suffice.
- Students should have basic computer skills such as copy/paste, file navigation, and use of keyboard and mouse.
Description
Learn Eiffel from scratch, from basic classes to multiple and repeated inheritance.
Learn to use Design by Contract to eliminate defensive programming.
Master the features that ensure your classes are rock solid and gain the benefits of reusability.
Add libraries written by others.
Learn the basics so that you can move on to Eiffel for .NET Core.
This course takes a novel approach as it is mostly text based, with tons of working examples, both in Eiffel and C#. This way, you have a Rosetta Stone to compare the two languages.
If you have any experience with an Object Oriented language such as C# or Java or JavaScript, this course is for you.
The course starts with simple classes, goes over expanded classes, detached classes, Void-Safe classes as well as deferred classes. We then explore object behavior, memory management, genericity. We then go over the crown jewel of Eiffel, which is Design by Contract. Then we examine exception handling in Eiffel, which is quite different than try/catch used in C# and other OO languages. Then we jump into Single Inheritance, Multiple Inheritance and conquer the “Diamond of Death” monster with Eiffel’s clean repeated inheritance.
If you have always want to learn Eiffel, now is your opportunity.
Who this course is for:
- Students who have any OO experience and want the benefits of Eiffel. If you know what a variable is and can write a function, you will enjoy this course.
- Do not believe the "short time" for this course. Most of the course is in Resource files.
- Same price all the time. Get the course when you want it.

I have been programming since 11'th grade with machine language and punch cards.
After a long career, I am focusing on Eiffel and .NET Core as a nice pairing.
I have degrees in Mathematics and Computer and Information Science.
I have been a Math tutor.
As someone with Asperger’s Syndrome, it has been difficult to learn new things.
I think that along with a lot of difficulties with Asperger’s, that there are also gifts.
One gift is that I don’t care what is popular. I care what is solid and works, such as Eiffel.
Another gift is that I can recognize that a 100% raw plant based diet provides huge advantages. Over 25 years, the benefits are amazing.
Eiffel has always been an interesting language, and now that I am retired, I have the time to create Eiffel courses.
