Overview

.NET35 is a mature framework which itself supports a wide range of technologies. Knowing your way around these technologies is a daunting but necessary task for those involved in producing other than rather small applications. This course takes you through the important technologies and how you can mix them together to form solutions to business problems.

Other courses take you through C#, Xml, Windows Forms, ASP.NET, WPF, WF and WCF building blocks of a serious .NET35 application. This course completes the picture with

a) Required techniques and technologies that are not uniquely Web/WindowsForms etc

b) Architectural guidance on appropriate mixes of the technologies

c) Good practice

This course is intended for experienced software developers who need to gain a solid understanding of how to use the .NET35 Framework to develop the core of a large scale application.

Practical exercises are used to consolidate the information learned during the lecture sessions, multimedia presentations and demonstrations. All demonstration, exercise and solution code is available to take home after the course.

Note: All code will be in C# only.

Prerequistites
