Converting to .NET Programming

Course Overview

The .NET environment is more than just a programming language, so if you want to move into this area, you need far more than just the standard programming language training course.

• The core programming model, the .NET Framework, is a radically new departure, so you need a grounding in that.
• It provides a very powerful RAD environment so you need to learn about the IDE, the Namespaces and all its other efficiency features.
• Web applications, web services and n-tier architecture are all new areas and .NET has considerably advanced the way they are handled

All these areas need to be understood before you can make the most of .NET programming.

What You Will Learn

• Introduction to the .NET Framework
• Visual Studio 2005 and other .NET development environments

• Advanced Object-Orientation
• Introduction to ASP.NET, ADO.NET, Web Services and Enterprise System Architecture
• Configuration and deployment

Audience

Experienced programmers looking to move into the .NET environment or wishing to gain knowledge of modern programming structures and practices.
