Object Innovations offers a comprehensive curriculum of courses in .NET topics and technologies. Our aim is to provide full support for the training needs of small and large companies with authoritative and current materials. Our modular design allows us to offer both standard and custom courses that meet our clients’ needs. From introductory to advanced topics, our curriculum covers the broad range of .NET technology. Our course authors have also published numerous books on .NET technology, ensuring that the Object Innovations .NET curriculum is authoritative and up-to-date.

Our core curriculum consists of courses with very little overlap covering in depth important topics in .NET technology. There are completely parallel tracks in C# and Visual Basic. Alternative tracks are available for students with different backgrounds and goals, including tracks for Windows and Web developers.

This guide focuses on our core curriculum of courses current to .NET 3.5 and Visual Studio 2008. For a complete listing of available .NET courses, including courses on the forthcoming .NET 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010, refer to the .NET sections of our course catalog.

4002 .NET Overview (1 day) provides an overview of Microsoft’s new .NET technology. It should prove of value to developers and managers who are starting on a .NET project or who are evaluating this technology. As the dotted box in the above diagram indicates, this course should not be considered a prerequisite for the following courses, but it can provide useful background.

The C# learning paths converge on an optional course on unit testing followed by a core course on the .NET Framework. With this foundation students can then pursue either a Windows programming track or a Web programming track. There are also courses on Distributed programming.
