9


Day Course

Microsoft MCTS .NET - Web and Windows Applications Training - Overview

If you are developing .NET Framework 2.0 applications that use Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or creating Web applications that use ASP.NET 2.0, the Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) credentials highlights your job role, featuring your specific area of expertise. Now you can easily distinguish yourself as an expert in both web and Windows applications development.

Our 9 day Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) Web and Windows Applications certification course will prepare you for the following:

Technology Specialist: .NET Framework 2.0 Web Applications

  • You will have the skills necessary to build interactive, data-driven Web applications that use ASP.NET 2.0 for both intranet and Internet uses

Technology Specialist: .NET Framework 2.0 Windows Applications

  • You will have the skills necessary to build rich client applications that target the Windows Forms platform using the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0

This is an accelerated, residential, fully-immersed course, designed for IT professionals that require effective, real-world skill-building and timely certification. You will live, learn, and test on-site.

Microsoft MCTS .NET - Web and Windows Applications Training - Benefits

The MCTS applications program is a highly interactive 9-day developer class designed to teach Web, and Windows Developers how to build interactive, data-driven client applications, targeting the Windows Forms platform using the .NET Framework 2.0, and produce intranet and Internet Web applications that use ASP.NET 2.0.

Other accelerated training providers rely heavily on lecture and independent self-testing and study.

Effective technical instruction must be highly varied and interactive to keep attention levels high, promote camaraderie and teamwork between the students and instructor, and solidify knowledge through hands-on learning.

Firebrand Training provides instruction to meet every learning need, including

  • Intensive group instruction
  • One-on-one instruction attention
  • Hands-on labs
  • Lab partner and group exercises
  • Question and answer drills
  • Independent study

This information has been provided as a helpful tool for candidates considering certification. Benefits of certification determined through studies do not guarantee any particular personal successes. Firebrand Training provides a guarantee of obtaining certification at the camp, but does not make any guarantees about personal successes or benefits of obtaining certification.
