Summary
The CSLA .NET framework is an application development framework that
reduces the cost of building and maintaining applications.
The framework enables the use of object-oriented design as the basis
for creating powerful applications. Business objects based on the
framework support many advanced features to simplify the creation of
Windows Forms, Web Forms and Web Services interfaces.
CSLA .NET is designed to allow great flexibility in object persistence,
so business objects can use virtually any data sources available. The
framework is designed to enable single tier and n-tier models through
the concept of mobile objects. This provides the flexibility to
optimize performance, scalability, security and fault tolerance with no
changes to code in the UI or business objects.
Who Should Attend?
In this course you will learn to make the most of using the CSLA .NET
Framework. Onsite classes can be delivered using either C# or
VB programming languages. Public classes give students the
option to use either language for lab work. Students must be
familiar with .Net programming techniques and frameworks.
