Microsoft's .NET 2.0 is a huge step forward in programming environments — it's full of innovations that make your life as a developer easier than ever before. One of the biggest benefits is that you can get straight to coding features and functionality — all the "plumbing" and groundwork you used to have to do first is no longer required. And that's just the beginning.
In Exam-Pack 70-536: .NET 2.0 Application Development Foundation, instructor Garth Schulte walks you through the features and functionalities of .NET 2.0, using Visual Basic 2005. This series will give you a huge jump-start on developing applications in Visual Basic, on the .NET 2.0 platform.
Here's what you'll learn to do with Visual Basic 2005 and .NET 2.0:
Video 1 - Take a tour of Visual Studio 2005, Visual Basic 2005 and the .NET 2.0 Framework — become familiar with the new tools and technologies in the next generation of software development.Video 2 - Discover the new Visual Basic 2005 language additions — see the productivity features of Visual Basic 2005 in action.
Video 3 - Manage your application data with Variables, Types and Collections — learn how to store, retrieve and manipulate the data your application needs to function.
Video 4 - Freshen up on the basics of Object Oriented Programming — OOP is the foundation of a well architected application, see the new graphical tools Visual Studio has to simplify modeling our application infrastructure.
Video 5 - Standardize code by creating and using Generics — learn about a significant new feature to the .NET 2.0 framework. Generics allow us to improve performance, reduce code and increase flexibility by "generalizing" our code classes.
Video 6 - Manipulate various forms of textual data — search, extract, format, twist and turn string-based objects and their data using different technologies and techniques.
Video 7 - Implement input/output operations on the file system — learn how to create, edit and manipulate files along with their content using different I/O techniques.
Video 8 - Implement serialization operations on objects — understand how and why we use serialization to simplify persisting object state.
Video 9 - Implement threaded application operations — learn how to build multi-threaded applications to enhance user-friendliness and improve performance through asynchronous operations.
Video 10 - Handle application bugs and potential issues — learn how to use structured exception handling to trap expected and unexpected errors so we can make decisions on how the application reacts.
Video 11 - Integrate diagnostic tools and functionality — trace code paths to monitor performance and troubleshoot application issues.
Video 12 - Implement input/output operations on a database — use ADO.NET 2.0 to read, write and manipulate data from a SQL Server database all while using a WinForms application to interact with the data.
Video 13 - Work with assembly files and assembly metadata — see the role and makeup of assemblies in .NET 2.0 and how we can tweak them to fit our application needs.
Video 14 - Work with reflection classes — see how and why we use reflection to dynamically work with our objects and code to save time.
Video 15 - Interoperate with code constructed in older technologies — learn how to Work with code and applications that were built with COM based languages prior to the .NET framework.
Video 16 - Build Windows serviced applications — see a real world example of how to build, install and update a Windows service application and also how to interact with a continuously running application.
Video 17 - Work with the .NET security architecture — understand the different layers of security and how to use them in the .NET 2.0 framework, we'll cover everything from code security to data encryption.
Video 18 - Using .NET SMTP Mail — see how to use the new email features of .NET 2.0 by creating and sending secure SMTP based email and using alternate views to support a wide variety of email clients.
Video 19 - Deploy .NET applications for installation — see the different methods used for creating setups and deploying applications to a production environment, you'll see the new ClickOnce deployment technology and features new to the .NET 2.0 framework.
Video 20 - An overview of the sample GoogleIT! WinForms application — A run through of the sample .NET 2.0 application written in VB.NET, see concepts and techniques we've covered in this exam pack and much more wrapped into a working example.
