.NET Training Overview
.NET 3.0 introduced three new major APIs which augment the 2.0 base class libraries. The first part of this course will examine the role of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and Windows Workflow Foundation (WF). The later part of this class will examine the numerous language changes which will be found within C# 3.0 / VB 9.0 with the forthcoming release of .NET 3.5. As well, you will come to understand the use of LINQ (Language Integrated Query) and the surrounding LINQ-centric programming models.
