New VB.NET courses in ADO.NET and Web Services from Object Innovations

May 4, 2004. Object Innovations today released two new .NET courses, on ADO.NET and Web Services. Both courses use VB.NET as the development language and are part of Object Innovations’ core curriculum in Microsoft .NET. Parallel courses using C# are also available

ADO.NET is an important new data access technology in the .NET Framework. Much more than a successor to ADO, it introduces important new concepts such as support for disconnected database applications using DataSets. The new programming model provides access to both relational and XML data in a seamless manner. The new three-day course from Object Innovations, 423 ADO.NET Using VB.NET, provides a thorough and practical introduction to the subject. A comprehensive case study and many example programs are included.

Web services are an evolving series of standards that enable programs on various computers to communicate with other programs on similar or disparate computers transparently over the Internet. The new four-day course, 428 Web Services Using VB.NET and ASP.NET. provides a realistic, hands-on, comprehensive coverage of developing Web services. This course teaches in detail the skills needed to program Web services using ASP.NET. It also examines the fundamentals of SOAP and WSDL essential for creating interoperable Web services. It includes a practical orientation to UDDI and a discussion of Web service security.

Object Innovations has also updated its parallel C# course 418 Web Services Using C# and ASP.NET. and it recently finalized its Java Web services course for J2EE 1.4.

The new courses are part of Object Innovations’ extensive curriculum of courses and books on Microsoft .NET.

Shipment of the new courseware begins immediately.
