About this class

This course combines an accelerated schedule of learning, and will help Visual Basic programmers migrate their skills to Visual Basic.NET by providing the skills required to build Microsoft Windows Forms applications using the Microsoft .NET Framework. In addition, the course covers building data-centric applications and Web services with ADO.NET and SQL Server.

Who will the lesson benefit?

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.
