Getting Started with Visual Basic
Live Instructor-Led Classroom Training
This 5-day hands-on workshop covers the basics of the latest version of Visual Basic programming for the .NET Framework, from the constructs of the language itself to the .NET environment for which it was redesigned. Topics include data types, Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts, debugging, exception handling, developing user interfaces using Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), the Just-In-Time compiler, namespaces, assemblies, and Language Integrated Query (LINQ). The biggest change for classic VB programmers is the introduction of Object-Oriented (OO) features, so special emphasis is placed on the principles of OO programming and how best to harness its power in your application design. In addition, the instructor will often discuss issues of performance, design, and best practices as they relate to the various topics presented throughout the workshop.
Participants will have the opportunity to utilize their new skills with many hands-on exercises using Visual Studio 2008.
