Here is WHY you should consider this class...

Microsoft has put a tremendous amount of resources towards .NET and it is *the* software development platform of the future. However, although .NET is a great new platform, it's huge and difficult to wrap your mind around at first. For example, .NET has over 2000 base classes compared to VFP's 35!

Our training class is designed to help you know where and how to begin including a great primer on programming in C# (with a touch of VB.NET for good measure), plus sound design principles for building flexible, scalable applications that scale from the desktop to the Internet.

As an added **BONUS**, we are giving students an early copy of our "Mere Mortals Framework for .NET" which will rocket you up the learning curve even faster. Our new Framework will do a lot of the "grunt" work for you...especially in the area of business components and data access using ADO.NET.

If your future plans include continuing to use Visual FoxPro and integrate elements of .NET, the class also shows you how to access VFP from .NET and vice-versa. There's a great hands-on session for ASP.NET and Web Services that shows you how to use both VFP COM components AND .NET components from the Web.

The BEST thing about this training is that it's presented through the lens of Visual FoxPro...it's the only training available that does this. Visit our website, www.oakleafsd.com, for a syllabus or to REGISTER TODAY!

P.S. We continue to make our .NET training mostly C#-centric due to the overwhelming number of developers requesting this. If you are interested in a Visual Basic .NET-centric class, please let us know!
