Learning to Program in Visual Basic 2005 Course

Course Code: IN 626
Course Abstract:

In this course, participants learn to use Visual Studio 2005 to explore the Visual Basic 2005 language. The course starts with a quick overview of the .NET platform, examining assemblies, Microsoft Intermediate Language, Visual Studio profiles, XML comments, IntelliSense, and debugging. From there, attendees learn all the language features that they must internalize in order to create full-featured Web or Windows applications that make best use of the .NET platform. Participants learn about data types, variables, and operators, along with all the important flow control structures. Attendees work through several examples demonstrating the power of the .NET Framework, and dig into creating and consuming their own classes and objects. The course moves on to working with data structures, such as arrays and collection classes, before finishing up with discussions of generics, handling exceptions and working with delegates and events. By the end of this course, participants will understand the important basic concepts that will allow them to start creating the applications needed.

Audience:

This course is designed for developers.

Duration: 3 days
