New Syllabus For MS.NET 3.5 Course

I have decided to split a single consolidated course of .NET into two courses so that I can spend more time on all important topics in .NET.

I have been thinking of this change for quite some time. Ever since .NET 3.5 was released with new features in C# 3.0 and LINQ and AJAX, the time to spend on .NET course has gone up considerably. So it has become inevitable to split a single consolidated course into two different courses, where first course focuses on languages and .NET Library and second course on Web applications and Data access.

However, those who want to learn .NET must go through both the courses. It is just they have an option to postpone learning ASP.NET.

Microsoft.NET 3.5 (Part 1 - C# 3.0 and VB.NET 2008)

This course teaches OOP with C# and VB.NET. Considering the demands of the Industry, C# will be given more importance. VB.NET is discussed so that you get familiar with that language and can handle it should the need ever arise.

It covers C# comprehensively, including the new features of C# 3.0. It also deals with Windows applications.

More emphasis will be on using .NET library. IO Streams, Collections (non-generic and generic) and other important types in .NET library will be discussed.

At the end we discuss about how to deal with Assemblies, including building Global assemblies.

Micrsofot .NET 3.5 (Part 2 - ASP.NET, AJAX and LINQ)

This course teaches how to build Web applications and Web Services.

It covers MS SQL Server as SQL Server is used as the main database during this course.

It teaches how to handle database using ADO.NET and LINQ.

Other important areas include XML, Web Services, Mobile applications.

It covers, ASP.NET AJAX, which is used to make Web application more interactive.

Finally it shows how to build a complete 3-tiered application with Presentation/User interface Layer (UIL), Business Logic Layer (BLL) and Data Access Layer (DAL).

Conclusion

With this division, I hope to provide more comprehensive coverage of .NET. Especially library part of .NET will be covered to greater depth. Some advanced topics in C# like Attributes, Generics and Delegates will be covered in detail. 

I am planning to cover every important part of .NET in these two courses. The aim is to make a candidate with the knowledge of C and SQL a thorough .NET professional.
