Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is Microsoft's new framework for... (More) building distributed systems. It unifies and builds on the diverse set of existing distribution mechanisms, which include ASP.NET Web services and .NET Remoting. WCF enables developers to produce highly configurable, secure, reliable and transactional services using a single simplified programming model. And since WCF supports the WS-* series of Web service standards, it enables simple interoperation with other platforms and technologies. This WCF training course covers the essentials of the technology and includes a large number of working examples using Visual Basic 2008 and lab exercises.

This WPF training course introduces Windows Presentation Foundation or WPF ("Avalon"),... (More) the new .NET technology from Microsoft for building rich Windows applications. It was originally part of .NET 3.0, previously called "WinFX" by Microsoft. WPF includes an XML-based markup language for defining program elements, Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML). WPF applications can be created using only code or a combination of code and XAML pages. This course covers the essentials of WPF, providing an orientation to this technology and a firm foundation for creating applications. The course is current to .NET 3.5 and Visual Studio 2008.

This course covers the essentials of WPF, providing an orientation to this technology and a firm foundation for creating applications. WPF is a complex technology that can have a steep learning curve. This course approaches the subject in a practical manner, introducing the student to the fundamentals of creating Windows applications using the features of WPF. It includes coverage of both traditional concepts such as controls and new concepts such as XAML, flexible layout, and the loosely-coupled command architecture of WPF. The course is hands-on with many example programs and lab exercises.

In this C# training course, students use Visual Studio .NET 2005 to learn... (More) the C# language. The course starts with a quick overview of the .NET platform, examining assemblies, Microsoft Intermediate Language, Visual Studio profiles, XML comments, IntelliSense, and debugging. From there, you will learn all the language features of C# to create full-featured Web or Windows applications. You will learn about data types, variables, and operators, along with all the important flow control structures. You will work through several examples demonstrating the power of the .NET Framework, and dig into creating and consuming your own classes and objects. Finally, the course moves on to working with data structures, such as arrays and collection classes, before finishing up with discussions of generics, handling exceptions and working with delegates and events. By the end of this C# training course, you will understand the important concepts that will allow you to start creating .NET applications.
