Visual Basic / VB.Net 2005 Training Course in UK - Visual Basic / VB.NET Training Class Outline

VB.NET Part 1 - Building .Net Applications with VB	Next Course Dates	Call for schedule
Duration	5 days
Pre-requisites	Experience of programming with Visual Basic 5 or 6 \| Understanding of basic Web concepts \| Familiarity with ADO and SQL \| Awareness of COM
Who Should Attend?	Experienced VB programmers who require a thorough overview of Visual Basic .NET and .NET concepts.
Course Benefits	VB.NET represents a radical redesign of the hugely successful Visual Basic concept. Visual Basic has been rewritten from the ground up to take full advantage of the .NET platform, which will form the basis of Microsoft's product strategy for the foreseeable future. This VB.NET training course offers experienced VB users a five-day immersion in the product, which introduces the key concepts and answers the questions about the capabilities of the new platform, implications for existing applications, deployment, and many other issues. While the .NET platform offers very substantial benefits to Web developers, "traditional" Windows forms-based application developers have not been forgotten. VB.NET has a powerful new forms engine with improved controls, as well as true object-oriented programming and greatly improved error handling. The course offers a thorough overview of all the important aspects of Windows Forms-based development, and introduces ASP.NET applications. After an in-depth examination of the new Windows Forms Model and controls, we look at .NET data types and base class libraries. This is followed by a thorough review of the new object-oriented features in VB.NET, error handling and debugging. We also look at the important issues of deployment and configuration. The course also introduces students to ASP.NET and ADO.NET.
