New and Updated XML Courseware Using .NET 3.5

May 14, 2009. Object Innovations today released new and updated courseware on XML using .NET, targeting both Windows desktop and Web platforms. These updated courses, available in both C# and Visual Basic, target Windows:

• 4125, XML Programming Using C# and .NET (4 days)
• 4225, XML Programming Using Visual Basic and .NET (4 days)

The revised courseware incorporates three main enhancements:

• Updated to .NET 3.5 and Visual Studio 2008
• Covers Language Integrated Query (LINQ)
• Example program implemented in a multiple-tier architecture, with separate tiers for data access and user interface

The previous versions of the courses using Visual Studio 2005 remain available. (The older courses have course numbers 414 and 424.)

New courses, available in both C# and Visual Basic, target Web applications using ASP.NET:

• 4126, XML for Web Applications Using C# (4 days)
• 4226, XML for Web Applications Using Visual Basic (4 days)

All of these courses utilize a comprehensive case study illustrating the use of XML in a practical business scenario, using different XML technologies with .NET, including XML readers and writers, the DOM, and XPath.

The courseware comes with separate lab manuals that have detailed instructions for labs implementing XML programs with Windows clients (courses 4125 and 4225) and Web clients (courses 4126 and 4226).

The XML courseware complements ADO.NET 3.5 courseware released previously that also has separate versions targeting Windows and Web platforms.

Shipments of the new courseware begin immediately.
