DevForce Advanced Class with Fundamentals Review
Below is the detail for our standard 4-day class, which targets companies and individuals
with object-oriented and .NET development experience. The class assumes some DevForce
background (detailed below). It focuses on the development of client-server and
smart client applications using the DevForce infrastructure and supporting development
tools, and is taught in a combination of C# and Visual Basic. There is typically
only a modest amount of hands-on work in this class, though by a consensus of the
attendees more time can be devoted to that.
We can also teach a class for DevForce beginners, or customize a course for your
specific requirements. For more information or to sign up for a training class contact
