Microsoft's
.NET framework
offers
a new
range
of tools,
services
and technologies
for developers.
VB.NET
allows
developers
to fully
exploit
the power
of .NET
and in
order
to do
this,
Visual
Basic
has changed
enormously
from previous
versions.
This requires
Visual
Basic
developers
to think
in new
ways.
This advanced,
hands-on
course
will help
developers
get 'up
to speed'
with VB.NET
as fast
as possible.
The focus
of the
two days
is to
gain 'real
world'
experience
of VB.NET
through
practical
sessions
with a
minimum
time out
of the
workplace.
Who
Should
Attend?
This
course
is exclusively
for experienced
Visual
Basic
developers
wishing
to get
'up to
speed'
with VB.NET
and the
.NET framework
in the
shortest
time possible.
