In this course, you gain an understanding of LINQ, WPF, WCF, WF and other .NET technologies, and how they can be used to build sophisticated modern applications.

Who Should Attend

Experienced .NET 2.0 developers interested in utilizing the features of .NET 3.0/3.5. Programming experience at the level of Course 503, "Visual Basic 2008 Programming," or Course 419, "C# Programming," is assumed.

Hands-On Training

Hands-on exercises provide you with practical experience developing .NET 3.0/3.5 applications. Exercises, presented in Visual Basic or C#, include:
  • Retrieving and updating data with LINQ
  • Creating WPF user interfaces
  • Building and consuming WCF services
  • Orchestrating long-running business processes with persistent state machine workflows
