 Online Programming Windows Applications with VS.NET 2003 & Visual Basic.NET - I 

Why This Course?

.
.
.

 With the introduction of the .NET framework, Microsoft has provided a very powerful platform for developing distributed applications. To utilize and excel in this new development environment, a programmer must be equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary for success. This is what this course provides: a thorough introduction to three most important tools in the .NET framework and how they are used together to build Windows .NET applications.

These tools are Visual Studio.NET 2003 development environment, Visual Basic.NET programming language, and the .NET framework itself. Some of the topics covered include navigating the Visual Studio.NET interface, the event-driven programming model, programming in the Object-Oriented paradigm, building Windows user interface, and programming the .NET framework using Visual Basic.NET language constructs and statements.

This class is taught entirely online. Learners are expected to supply their own computers and Internet access. Each learner is also expected to provide her/his own copy of the reference book and the software needed throughout the course. The course reference book itself include an evaluation copy of the software needed for the course (Visual Studio.NET 2003) in DVD format.

The instructional strategy for this course emphasizes project-based learning, practical real-life problem solving skills, and getting started with .NET programming as quickly as possible.
