Visual Basic Training Program |
Home |
SYS-ED’s training programs for Visual Basic utilize the
full complement of training medium -
traditional, web-based,
and
technology driven classrooms. Historically, Visual Basic training programs
have ranged from 15
to 24 days in duration and
were
tailored to specific training needs and
operational
objectives.
The client organization selects the component courses, examples,
sample programs, and integrated exercises. Educational consultancy topics,
inclusive of project specifications can also be incorporated into the program.
The assumption is that the selection of the course modules
will be based upon the background and experience of the IT staff to be trained,
whether a Microsoft development platform is being utilized, and the client
project specifications: maintenance of existing code, upgrading of code, or
migration to new web enabled technologies. Most clients elect to consolidate and
streamline the content and duration of a Visual Basic training program. In order to
accommodate employee workloads and staff in remote geographic locations,
component courses can be scheduled over non consecutive weeks utilizing a
combination classroom training and
distance-learning.
At the client's discretion,
validation assessment and a final examination can be utilized.
State of the Market - Web Development and Internet Programming
Microsoft Corporation's stated policy is that
there will be no new and subsequent releases of Visual Basic beyond 6.0.
Accordingly, the following courses may be useful in evaluating and transitioning
to Microsoft .NET technologies.
Reviewing Additional Content
