Introduction to .NET and Visual Basic .NET
Programming
This 5-day hands-on workshop covers the basics of the latest version of Visual
Basic (VB.NET) programming for Microsoft .NET, from the constructs of the
language itself to the .NET environment for which it was redesigned. Topics
include VB.NET data types, the .NET Framework classes and interfaces, debugging,
exception handling, developing GUIs with Windows Forms, the Just-In-Time
compiler, namespaces, and assemblies. The biggest change for classic VB
programmers is the introduction of Object-Oriented (OO) features, so special
emphasis is placed on the principles of OO programming and how best to harness
its power in your application design. In addition, the instructor will often
discuss issues of performance, design, and best practices as they relate to the
various topics presented throughout the workshop. Although VB experience is not
necessary, differences between VB.NET and its predecessor will be discussed.
Students will have the opportunity to utilize their new skills with many
hands-on exercises using Visual Studio .NET.
Who Should Attend
This workshop is aimed at developers who are going to begin developing in the
.NET environment using Visual Basic .NET.
