ASP.NET 1.x: Bundle: MS2310 + MS2389

With a quicker pace of delivery, these courses are designed for individuals with existing Visual Basic experience who need to start developing with Microsoft .NET. By reducing the time to acquire sound .NET skills, we provide greater flexibility and reduced cost of platform migration.

Course Overview

This course combines an accelerated schedule of learning, and will teach Visual Basic programmers and Web application developers the fundamentals of Web application site implementation using ASP.NET. The course focuses on using the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET environment and the Microsoft .NET platform to create an ASP.NET Web application that delivers dynamic content to a Web site. In addition, the course covers building data-centric applications and Web services with ADO.NET and SQL Server.
