Summary
The fundamentals of object oriented development are often assumed in
many training classes. Design Patterns are now a method of
communication between developers and something critical to our
vocabulary. The goal of this course is to equip you with
both. The course uses Visual Basic .NET (other languages are
available with sufficient demand) to cover object oriented development
on the .NET platform.
Who Should Attend?
Students should have basic knowledge of the programming language used
in the class and have used Visual Studio before. General
knowledge of structured programming concepts is required.
