.NET Boot Camp
Duration:  5 Days
Description
60 Hours, 5 Days, 1 Focus: .NET Development

This is an intensive 60-hour workshop that will equip you to build managed software using the .NET platform. Given the language agnostic attitude of the CLR, Extreme .NET provides a firm grounding in the syntax and semantics of C# and Visual Basic.NET. Once you have seen both languages in action, you are free to complete the remaining (numerous) labs using your language of choice.

The bulk of the week will be spent exploring critical aspects of the .NET universe including the .NET type system, assembly configuration, multithreading, File IO, object serialization, XML processing and attribute based programming. Along the way, you will learn how to build solutions which employ Windows Forms, GDI+, ADO.NET, ASP.NET and XML Web services.

The class wraps up with a discussion of COM interoperability and a preview of the core features and technology changes provided by the forthcoming .NET 2.0. Not only will you examine new C# and Visual Basic .NET language features, but also understand the role of generics and survey the new namespaces of the base class libraries.

Boot Camp courses are all-inclusive events which include breakfast, lunch, dinner, and Thursday evening "night on the town."
