Nothin But .Net Fundamentals is coming to College Station, Texas for the week of January 7th–11th 2008.
Overview
Nothin’ But .Net Fundamentals is a five day boot camp that will focus on teaching people a core understanding of how to get started developing with the .Net Framework. This course is intended as an introductory class for people who are getting started in .Net development.
This course is all about learning how to take control of the .Net framework and having it work the way you want. This course will place a heavy emphasis on basic structures in the .Net framework getting back to the basics and making .Net do things the way you want it to, in a predictable and testable way.
This course will focus on a code centric view of application development vs. the typical databinding/designer magic covered by many typical .Net courses. You will walk away with a deep understanding of fundamental aspects of .Net and how these pieces can be used to develop and deliver enterprise scale applications.
