Complete VB.NET Training

Intertech’s Complete VB course is designed to expose experienced software developers to the VB programming language and the core APIs of the .NET platform. The course will begin by exposing attendees to the syntax and semantics of the VB programming language and Object Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts. Students will gain an understanding of the .NET type system (classes, structures, enums, interfaces and delegates), assembly configuration, file IO operations and the role of type metadata. Once the foundational topics have been addressed, the remainder of the class will introduce the role of Windows Forms, ADO.NET, and ASP.NET.
