Revised and Expanded Windows Forms Courses from Object Innovations

November 21, 2005. Continuing the update of its .NET curriculum to .NET 2.0, Object Innovations today released revised five-day courses in Windows Forms, expanding the courses from four days in length to five days.

The two additional courses that have been updated to .NET 2.0 are:

• 415, Windows Forms Using C#, Rev. 2.0 (5 days)
• 425, Windows Forms Visual Basic, Rev. 2.0 (5 days)

Each course adds two chapters covering data access in Windows applications and new Windows Forms features in .NET 2.0. The content throughout the courses has been thoroughly updated to incorporate new .NET 2.0 features as they occur, such as new controls.

The previous four-day courses covering Windows Forms in .NET 1.1 remain available.

A noteworthy feature of .NET 2.0 is the introduction of low-cost versions of Visual Studio, including Visual C# 2005 Express Edition and Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition, which are ideal for instructional purposes. All the programming examples in both courses have been tested in the new development environment. The new database examples use SQL Server 2005 and have been tested on the free version, SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.

The Windows Forms courses are part of Object Innovations’ comprehensive .NET curriculum. Parallel tracks are offered in C# and Visual Basic. The diagram shows the core courses in .NET programming using Visual Basic.

Shipments of the new courseware begin immediately.
