This course introduces students the Microsoft .NET 2.0 Framework through hands-on exercises and live demos. Both C# and VB .NET code is provided side-by-side giving the students a deeper understanding of the commonalities between the languages. The class examples can be completed in either C# or VB .NET.

The course provides an introduction to the .NET Framework for students who want to pursue Microsoft certification, specifically MCAD (Microsoft Certified Application Developer).

At course completion students will be able to:

  • Explain the main concepts behind the common language runtime
  • Create Windows-based applications
  • Create Windows Forms with menus, system and user controls
  • Create Web Forms and Web Services
  • Create and use components in Windows Forms-based and ASP.NET-based applications
  • Use XML Web services in an application
  • Create and use classes, interfaces, delegates
  • Handle system events and generate custom events

Registration and more details are available via the UTS Programming Short Courses Page.
