Microsoft's Visual Basic programming language is about to take its biggest technology leap in its ten year history. Microsoft's Visual Basic .NET is one of the core development languages in the new Visual Studio .NET and is a complete and total rewrite of the Visual Basic compiler.
Our comprehensive Visual Basic .NET course provides in-depth coverage of Visual Basic .NET features—from fundamental to advanced topics with instruction by industry experts Andy Baron, Mary Chipman, and Ken Getz. This course will get you up to speed on all the new features and programming requirements including: VB .NET language features, the .NET framework, ADO.NET, object-oriented programming, Windows Forms, XCopy deployment, and much more...
About Instructors
Your instructors, Andy Baron, Mary Chipman, and Ken Getz are all Senior Consultants with MCW Technologies, a Microsoft Solution Provider. All have been Microsoft MVPs since 1995. When not creating applications for clients, Andy, Mary, and Ken write articles for technical journals such as MSDN, Visual Basic Programmer's Journal, asp.netPRO, Access-VB-SQL Advisor, MsOfficePro, and SQL Server Magazine, and have written over 10 technical books on various development topics. All three authors speak regularly at industry conferences, including Microsoft's Tech-Ed and DevDays, DevConnections, VBITS, and Advisor Devcon.
In this course you will learn how to use Visual Studio .NET and Visual Basic .NET to build applications to run on the .NET platform. You will become familiar with the new Visual Basic .NET programming syntax including new object-oriented enhancements like inheritance. This course teaches you how to create Windows Forms and trap Windows Forms Events. You will learn how to access data using the new objects in ADO.NET including the DataReader, DataAdapter, and DataSet. Learn to build solid applications using the new Try/Catch block and Exception Object for efficient error trapping and Event logging and Breakpoints for effective debugging.
