Introduction to Visual Basic .NET Programming

This five-day instructor led course provides students with the knowledge and skills needed to develop applications in MicrosoftÆ Visual BasicÆ .NET for the Microsoft .NET platform. The course focuses on user interfaces, program structure, language syntax, and implementation details. This is the first course in the Visual Basic .NET curriculum and will serve as the entry point for other .NET courses.

Doelgroep:

This course is intended for both novice and experienced programmers who have a minimum of three months programming experience and have basic Microsoft Windows navigation skills.

Resultaat:
