Overview

In this workshop you will get some hands-on practice at each of the technologies identified in the outline.

.Net is now a mature technology. The previous big release started to break into “How can we do things better / smarter”; .NET3.5 takes this mindset a quantum leap forward such that we now have a technology where whole swathes of infrastructure software are now in the framework and developers can focus on the essential business problems.

Clearly, if you’re starting a new .NET project, then awareness of the technology options is vital.

However, if your applications are currently .NET1.1 or .NET2, there really are large gains to be had by incorporating aspects of the .NET3.5 technology set. This course gives you that feel of which technology can best leverage your current situation.

It is often only be getting hands-on that the significance of certain things bubble out; this is what happens on the workshop day (Hands On Labs) – covering the same topics where you test drive the technologies yourself. We supply much more than a day’s worth of Hands On Labs and you decide which to do. At the end of the course you take home the complete set plus worked solutions. 

Prerequisites

 

For this course, you must have some previous knowledge/experience of .NET2. For those starting from cold, we recommend the WNNETSDV-2 course as a re-requisite. For the workshop day, you must be comfortable using Visual Studio 2005 or later.
