AT-OO-VB - Object Oriented Programming in Visual Basic (VS 2008)

If you have any questions about registering for this class, please call (877) 832-0688 Ext. 1493 or email us at getsmart@LRS.com
This course is a practical introduction to programming in Visual Basic and the use of services provided by .NET. It emphasizes the Visual Basic language and how to build Visual Basic applications from an object-oriented perspective. It is current to Visual Studio 2008 and .NET 3.5, which introduces important new features such as local type inference, extension methods, lambda expressions and Language-Integrated Query (LINQ). The new features are covered in a new chapter.
