ASP.NET, SharePoint, WPF, VB and C# training

You can use Visual Basic for two basic purposes: constructing ASP.NET websites or building WPF or Windows forms applications. Either way you're going to have to learn how to write code, and we teach you this using Visual Studio as our development environment.

Visual C# (sometimes called C Sharp) is one of two main languages that you can use to develop in for the .NET framework (the other being VB). It's an unscientific survey, but we reckon about three-quarters of all .NET code examples on the web use C #, even though it can be slightly harder to programme in than VB.

ASP.NET is the Microsoft alternative to PHP.  You can use it to get your website to render different pages to a web browser depending on what a user chooses.  For example, when a user clicks on a photo of a product, an ASP.NET page could:

• look up the details for this product in your corporate database;
• compile a page containing its specification; and
• return this page to the browser in the correct format (regardless of whether they might be using Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Chrome or whatever)

Writing systems using ASP.NET within Visual Studio (with SQL Server as a back-end database) is our preferred development environment.  Let us share our enthusiasm with you!

Microsoft would have you do all of your programming and development within Visual Studio, and so would Wise Owl!  Learn how to create:

• ASP.NET websites;
• WPF applications in Visual Basic or WPF applications in C#
• WinForms applications in Visual Basic or WinForms applications in Visual C#
• VSTO or Visual Studio Tools for Office systems; and
• SQL Server Reporting Services reports

All from within Visual Studio!

SharePoint allows you to share your company's information at a single point (perhaps that's where the name came from ...).  Our end user SharePoint courses are aimed at people who are trying to make sense of and use a SharePoint site already set up within their company.
