New .NET Course: ASP.NET AJAX Using Visual Basic

AJAX, or "Asynchronous JavaScript and XML," is an important new technology, part of what is sometimes called "Web 2.0." It is a standards-based approach to building rich Internet application that offer users a highly interactive user interface experience. Microsoft's ASP.NET AJAX, used in conjunction with Visual Studio 2005, provides a highly productive environment for creating AJAX applications.

The new course is fully parallel to the previously released 4145, ASP.NET AJAX Using C#. It introduces AJAX and covers foundational topics, such as JavaScript, DTHML, the Document Object Model (DOM) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). The course then covers in depth the various components of Microsoft's AJAX support, including ASP.NET AJAX Extensions, the AJAX Client Library, and the AJAX Control Toolkit.

Object Innovations also has a course on Ajax for Java Developers, making for a very strong curriculum in AJAX, with courses now in C#, Java and Visual Basic.

The new course is part of an extensive .NET curriculum, providing parallel courses in C# and Visual Basic. Coming soon is new courseware in Windows Communications Foundation. Watch for it!

Shipments of the new courseware begin immediately.
