.NET for VFP Developers Training
This live, online
training class is taught by Kevin McNeish, the author of the book
.NET for Visual FoxPro Developers, a
Microsoft .NET MVP, and an INETA speaker.
This
updated class covers the latest .NET 3.5 and Visual Studio 2008
technologies.
Each session is 5 hours long and
there is 1 session per day for 3 days. The regular cost for the class is
$599 or just $499 if you take advantage of our early-bird
specials!
Quotes from Students
Thank you for an outstanding three days. I was looking
for "full immersion" to jump start my involvement with .NET, and this
training session delivered. The recordings will be particularly valuable
as a way to go back and spend some real hands-on time in .NET to
reinforce what we learned during the live sessions.
- Rick Borup

Session 3 |
Description |
|
Working with Business Objects and Business Processes (Workflow) |
One of the biggest mistakes new .NET developers make is to put
the majority of their application logic in the user interface.
This session highlights the importance of using business objects
for creating a single code base for Windows and Web
applications, normalizing your application logic, and providing
flexible data access. It also demonstrates the use of the new
Windows Workflow technology to create visual representations of
your business processes

How it works
The
live training class is broadcast
directly to your company using Citrix’s www.gotomeeting.com.
All you need is a computer with a high speed internet connection and a
phone. During each training session you simply connect to the training
seminar via the internet and you see the trainer’s computer in a window on
your machine. If multiple students at your company want to take the class
(Note: Each participant must pay for the class) you can simply hook up a
projector to your computer so everyone in the room can see. As the trainer
steps through presentations and uses Visual Studio 2005 to create and
execute code samples you see it all as it is happening.
For audio
hookup, you call into the specified phone number and join a conference call
where you can hear the trainer and vice versa. To minimize disruptions,
you can post questions in a chat window for the instructor to answer.
All slides used
in the training are e-mailed to you about one week before the class begins.
You may want to print out these slides for each student so they can take
notes during class.
Benefits
-
You save the
usual costs of airfare, hotel, food, and rental car to attend a class
-
You aren’t
tied up all day in training
-
You get a
recording of the entire training class!
Schedule
The class consists of three, five-hour
training sessions.
Cost
The cost for the class is $599
($499 early bird special) per student.
Note that if you have multiple students taking the training, each
student must pay for the class. In addition to the class registration fee,
the number you call for audio hookup is a toll number, so you will be
charged on your phone bill at the regular rate of your long distance
provider. If you have free unlimited long distance calls, then the call is
free.
