Course Outline
This course has been designed for delegates new to the .NET development platform, although delegates with experience solely in Windows application development will find almost all of the content beneficial.
Delegates will be introduced to the .NET framework and will learn to develop web applications using C# or VB.NET. At course completion delegates should be familiar with the framework, experienced in developing web application and conversant with database access using LINQ.
