Course description:
This course is designed for students and early-career developers who already have solid Java experience and now want to move into the C# and .NET world in a focused, practical way. Many German universities primarily teach Java, yet a large share of industry projects are built with C#. Especially in areas like enterprise business software, industrial automation, finance, MedTech, and specialized tooling C# is widely used. Rather than repeating programming basics, the course concentrates on the differences, subtleties, and “gotchas” you’ll encounter when switching from Java to C#. The goal: In the end you won’t just be able to write C#, but you’ll understand how to write modern C# code in real-world .NET projects.
Prerequisites:
Participants should have a solid foundation in Java programming, including basic object-oriented design principles, and be familiar with common developer tools. While prior knowledge of C# or the .NET ecosystem is not required, participants should be generally comfortable with programming.
Biography: Sabrina Kynast
I earned my B.Sc. in Games Engineering from the TUM. Following this, I pursued my master’s degree in the elite graduate “Software Engineering” program. My interest in teaching and sharing knowledge led me to work as a teaching assistant during both my bachelor’s and master’s studies. After graduating, I joined the Munich-based fintech scale-up QPLIX, where I now work as an Engineering Manager, splitting my time between writing code and supporting my team’s growth. Since 2024, I have been speaking at international conferences about the challenges and opportunities of being an openly trans woman in a male-dominated sector, including a talk at DevBcn 2025.
