.NET Training Overview
.NET 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005 (Whidbey) is a significant advance in Microsoft’s .NET platform. This two-day course is designed for experienced .NET programmers to bring them quickly up to speed on important new features. The course is provided in two modules, which can also be offered separately or combined with other .NET training. It is current to the released version of .NET 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005.
The first module begins with an overview of the new Visual Basic features provided by .NET 2.0, such as generic types and partial classes. Example programs are provided to illustrate each important new feature. The module then covers new features in the .NET Framework, including Windows Forms, ADO.NET and XML.
The second module provides an in-depth look at ASP.NET 2.0, which is a major advance in Web programming. It covers new features like personalization, web parts, master pages, themes and skins, and new data binding. Visual Web Developer is introduced.
