Study Notes

Managed Code

Managed code is code that runs on top of the Common Language Runtime (CLR)
The CLR provides services like garbage collection and security
It ensures that an application can only access the memory it's authorized to access.

Network Communication

Two different types of computers can transmit information if they both use the TCP/IP protocol
The TCP/IP model is divided into four layers: Application, Transport, Internet, and Network Access
The Internet layer of the TCP/IP model includes protocols like IP and ARP

.NET Framework

The core components of the .NET Framework are the Common Language Runtime(CLR), the Framework Class Library, and ASP.NET Applications
The CLR is a runtime environment that manages the execution of .NET applications.
The Framework Class Library is a collection of reusable classes that can be used by .NET applications.
ASP.NET Applications are web applications that can be developed using the .NET Framework.

C# Programming

The keyword "int" in C# maps to the .NET type System.Int32
The keyword "using" in C# states that the program is using the names in the given namespace
A namespace in C# helps keep sets of names separate from each other, preventing naming conflicts.
The C# keyword "endregion" marks the end of a #region block
There are several different ways to declare two-dimensional integer arrays in C#:
- Int[][] myArray;
- Int[,] myArray;

Networking

The Presentation layer in the OSI model uses the data unit called "Data"
The Network layer in the OSI model performs route selection and information forwarding
The Transport layer of the TCP/IP model includes protocols like TCP and UDP
The TCP protocol provides highly reliable packet transport, while UDP provides less reliable, but faster packet transport
The ARP protocol is used to map IP addresses to physical MAC addresses
The Ping utility in TCP/IP is used to test network connectivity
The OSI model organizes communication protocols into 7 layers:
- Application
- Presentation
- Session
- Transport
- Network
- Data Link
- Physical

Miscellaneous

The Garbage Collector in .NET is responsible for freeing memory occupied by unreferenced objects, avoiding memory leaks.
The Main() method is the entry point for a C# program.
C# exceptions occur at runtime.
The Common Language Runtime (CLR) provides services to run both "managed" and "unmanaged" applications.
The "ToString()" method converts a type to a string in C#.

BOPPPS

BOPPPS is a teaching and learning framework acronym for:
- Bridge
- Objectives
- Pre-assessment
- Participatory Learning
- Post-assessment
- Summary

BOPPPS Element Descriptions

The bridge element can be used to tell a story, use a current event, or ask a question to capture the learner's attention.
The objectives element describes the student's learning outcomes in terms of observable behaviors.
The pre-assessment element helps the teacher to determine the learner's prior knowledge, skills, and attitudes related to the topic.
The participatory learning element involves activities where learners actively engage with information and concepts.
The post-assessment element can be used to check for student understanding and evaluate instruction.
The summary element emphasizes the key points of the lesson, connects the lesson to future lessons, and provides actionable steps for learners to apply their new knowledge.
