Updated ADO.NET Courses from Object Innovations

December 15, 2005. Continuing the update of its .NET curriculum to .NET 2.0, Object Innovations today released revised three-day courses in ADO.NET. The courses include a major case study demonstrating the use of ADO.NET in a realistic setting. They are now current to .NET 2.0, Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005.

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

• 413, ADO.NET Using C#, Rev. 2.0 (3 days)
• 423, ADO.NET Using Visual Basic, Rev. 2.0 (3 days)

The content throughout the courses has been thoroughly updated to use SQL Server 2005 and .NET 2.0. A new chapter provides hands-on coverage of a number of the new features in ADO.NET 2.0.

The previous courses covering ADO.NET in .NET 1.1 with SQL Server 2000 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 database examples use SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, which is a free download.

The ADO.NET 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 C#.
