Microsoft .NET Framework with Visual Basic.NET

Microsoft .NET Framework with Visual Basic.NET

Producing and Deploying .NET Applications with Visual Basic .NET
The Microsoft .NET Framework is a new platform for building integrated, service-oriented applications to meet the needs of today’s Internet businesses, applications that gather information from, and interact with, a wide variety of sources, regardless of the platforms or languages in use. Visual Basic is familiar to millions of developers worldwide and has been used to build multi-tiered applications based on Microsoft technologies such as Windows NT, Internet Information Server and Microsoft Transaction Server. Visual Basic.NET adds many object oriented capabilities to the language and make it an ideal tool for developers working on .NET Framework projects. This course focuses on how the .NET Framework enables you to build and deploy Web services and applications using Visual Basic.NET and how the tried and trusted skills many developers have used to build classes and objects can be put to use in the new world of .NET. In order to produce efficient and effective applications with Visual Basic.NET it is essential to understand the .NET framework and the functionality and facilities it provides. These include the Common Language Runtime, Web Services, Object Remoting and the available class libraries that allow applications to be built in the shortest possible time.

This course helps Application Developers understand the Microsoft .NET Framework. In addition to offering an overview of the .NET framework and an introduction of key concepts and terminology, the course provides a series of labs, which introduce and explain .NET framework features used to code, debug, tune, and deploy applications.

Prerequisites
Delegates should be proficient in the Visual Basic programming language and have been exposed to Visual Basic.NET. Delegates can meet this prerequisite by taking course 2373, Microsoft Visual Basic.NET for Visual Basic developers.

Delegates will learn how to
List the major elements of the .NET framework and explain how they fit into the .NET platform
Use delegates and events to make an event-sender object signal the occurrence of an action to an event-receiver object
Read from and write to data streams and files
Explain the main concepts behind the common language runtime and use the features of the .NET framework to create a simple application
Create classes and interfaces that are functionally efficient and appropriate for given programming scenarios
Serialise and de-serialise an object graph
Create and use components in Windows forms-based and ASP.NET-based applications
Create, use, and extend types by understanding the common type system architecture
Use the .NET Framework class library to efficiently create and manage strings, arrays, collections and enumerators
Use the deployment and versioning features of the .NET framework common language runtime to deploy multiple versions of a component
Describe and control how memory and other resources are managed in the .NET Framework
Use the basic request/response model to send and receive data over the internet
Create distributed applications by means of Web Service and Object Remoting

Who will the course benefit?
Experienced, professional software developers, including those employed by independent software vendors and software companies or working on corporate internal development teams. Most delegates will be Microsoft Visual Basic developers.

Course Objectives
To enable application developers to understand the Microsoft .NET Framework.

To offer an overview of the .NET Framework and an introduction to key concepts and terminology

To give delegates practical hands-on experience with the .NET Framework features used to code, debug, tune, and deploy applications.

Skills Gained
This course will enable delegates to:

List the major elements of the .NET Framework and explain how they fit into the .NET platform.
Explain the main concepts behind the Common Language Runtime and use the features of the .NET Framework to create a simple application.
Create and use components in Windows Forms-based and ASP.NET-based applications.
Use the deployment and versioning features of the .NET Framework Common Language Runtime to deploy multiple versions of a component.
Create, use, and extend types by understanding the Common Type System architecture.
Create classes and interfaces that are functionally efficient and appropriate for given programming scenarios.
Use the .NET Framework Class Library to efficiently create and manage strings, arrays, collections, and enumerators.
Use delegates and events to have an event sender object signal the occurrence of an "action" to an event-receiver object.
Describe and control how memory and other resources are managed in the .NET Framework.
Read from and write to data streams and files and serialise and deserialise an object graph.
Create distributed applications by means of Web Services and Object Remoting.
Identify the Microsoft Visual Studio.NET development tool and .NET Servers that may be used to build .NET Framework applications.
Pre-Requisites
This course is targeted at programmers with 4-6 months programming experience with Visual Basic .NET, it requires that delegates are proficient at writing subroutines, functions, basic classes and all control constructs. Additionally delegates should be aware of the basic programming concepts and facilities in developing Windows based applications within Visual Studio .NET. Delegates should also be aware of the Object Orientated methodology adopted by many software development companies. These skills can be gained from the Parity courses VB1NET and VB2NET or VBUNET.
