Visual Basic BootCamp

Instructor:
Peter Monadjemi
Dates:
October ,2010

Beim Visual Basic-Code Camp werden die Teilnehmer in der Woche eine vollständige Anwendung umsetzen und dabei alle Phasen beim Erstellen einer Windows-Anwendung vom Datenbankentwurf über das Erstellen eines OR-Layers bis zur Implementierung der WPF-Benutzeroberfläche durchlaufen. Da WPF zum Einsatz kommt, spielen die mit WPF eingeführte Form der Datenbindung und die Implementierung des gängigen Model View Controller-Entwurfsmusters eine wichtige Rolle. Während am Vormittag die Theorie „gepaukt“ wird, steht am Nachmittag die praktische Umsetzung auf dem Programm. Das Ziel ist es, am Ende des Workshops eine funktionsfähige, moderne Windows-Anwendung ausliefern zu können. Da die Teilnehmer keinen Code abtippen sollen, stehen vorbereitete Bausteinmodule zur Verfügung. Am Abend werden speziellere Themen der Visual Basic-Programmierung vorgestellt, so dass jeder Teilnehmer einen umfassenden Überblick über die moderne Windows-Entwicklung mit Visual Basic erhält.

Architecting WPF Applications

Instructor:
Brian Noyes
Dates:
July. 7 - 9, 2010

To build great compelling, responsive, secure smart client applications with WPF you need to master not just the basic building blocks of WPF but how to compose the rest of the application that sits behind the façade of the user interface. You need to understand user interface presentation patterns to have good separation between your UI definition and the supporting logic code. You need to have loose coupling between different pieces of functionality in your application so they can be independently developed, maintained, tested, and deployed. You need to be able to communicate between the loosely coupled parts of your application with events and commands. You need to secure the application, collect credentials from the user, authenticate them, authorize actions and authenticate against remote services, databases, and other external resources. You need to manage concurrent and asynchronous work in the client and deal with the threading issues of the UI context. You need to retrieve and update data, even cache it locally for offline use, and synchronize that data when you go back online. You also need to make calls to services and be notified on events outside of your application, such as changes to back end data. And finally, you have to deploy your application

WCF Master Class

Instructor:
Juval Löwy
Dates:
December 6-11, 2010

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is Microsoft's implementation of set of industry standards defining service interactions. But fundamentally, WCF is nothing short of the new .NET, a better way of writing applications. . The training starts by explaining the motivation for WCF, and then continues to discuss in depth how to develop service-oriented applications using WCF. You will see how to take advantage of built-in features such as service hosting, instance management, asynchronous calls, synchronization, reliability, transaction management, disconnected queued calls, security as well as emerging technologies like cloud computing and the Windows Azure AppFabric service bus. While the training shows how to use these features, it sets the focus on the ‘why’ and the rationale behind particular design decisions, often shedding light on poorly-documented and understood aspects. You will learn not only WCF programming, but also relevant design guidelines, best practices, and pitfalls. The material presented includes IDesign's original techniques and utilities and goes well beyond anything you can find in conventional training sources. The objective of the training is not to just make you a WCF expert, but also a better software engineer.
