.NET 2.0: Architecture and Design - Building Distributed Applications

Audience

This course is designed for application developers with previous Microsoft .NET experience who wish to construct better distributed applications using decades of collective real-world knowledge.

Skills Gained

Distributed Systems bring there own set of unique challenges. This course presents common strategies in application design as it applies to .NET 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005. Through discussion, demonstration and hands-on experience, this class provides essential and practical information for designers and senior developers building robust, reliable, high-performance distributed .NET applications.

Fundamental to the course are the technologies of the Internet, the .NET Framework and other .NET services. Using everything from Sockets to Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), you explore how to integrate applications, explain why certain technologies are not suitable for particular types of applications, and demonstrate how your applications benefit from effective use of design patterns.

The lab exercises demonstrate particular patterns, architectural and implementation details through the continuous development of an example distributed application.

Prerequisistes
