Introduction to VB.NET (2 days)

£650 + VAT for most venues (£750 + VAT for London)

This course focuses on how to write programs in Visual Basic (called VB by its friends, and also VB.NET). Forget about the user interface (this two-day course does), but learn instead how to use conditions, loops, error-trapping and all of the other standard VB programming techniques.
