Microsoft .NET is an advance in programming technology that greatly simplifies application development. .NET is a complete restructuring of Microsofts entire system infrastructure and represents a major learning challenge for programmers developing applications on Microsoft platforms. .NET 2.0 includes C++/CLI, which enables the popular Visual C++ language to fully participate in the new .NET Framework.
This two-day course is designed for the experienced C++ programmer to help you quickly come up to speed on the C++/CLI language. It is current to Visual Studio 2005 and .NET 2.0, which introduces important new features, such as generic types.
This course concisely covers the essentials of programming using Microsofts C++/CLI programming language. It starts with a brief chapter, .NET: What You Need to Know, which gets you up and running in the .NET environment with a minimum of fuss. The next two chapters cover C++/CLI language fundamentals and object-oriented programming in C++/CLI. The next chapter discusses how C++/CLI relates to the .NET Framework. The following chapter covers delegates and events. The course concludes with a succinct introduction to creating GUI programs using Windows Forms.
The course is practical, with many example programs and a progressively developed case study. The goal is to quickly bring you up to speed in writing C++/CLI programs. The student will receive a comprehensive set of materials, including course notes and all the programming examples.
