Description:
Microsoft's .NET Framework
represents a new and radically different development foundation for
Windows and Web-based applications. It provides a unifying,
object-oriented development environment based on mainstream Internet
protocols and message formatting standards. Application and component
interoperability have been significantly improved.
This course explores the various tools and language options to deploy
and connect .NET applications across the Internet from a variety of
platforms, including wireless.
After attending the seminar, participants will be
equipped with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions regarding
the evaluation and use of
.NET in his or her organization.
Prerequisites:
This is an introductory course, but a basic knowledge of computers and
Microsoft development platforms is suggested.
Audience:
IT and MIS managers, application development managers responsible for
evaluating new technologies, programmers and application developers,
consultants, sales and marketing professionals.
Delivery Methods:
Lecture with demonstrations.
