ConferenceXP Pre-Workshop Training Available Online

A ConferenceXP pre-workshop training session was held on Wednesday, June 
15, 2005. This provided a fast-paced, one-day class on Microsoft .NET, 
Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, and Microsoft Visual C#®. It was designed 
for professional developers or advanced computer science students with 
object oriented-programming (OOP) experience in C++ or Java who have 
written several large applications. However, security, database, and Web 
development experience were not required. This class, taught by 
DevelopMentor <http://www.develop.com>, was a subset of their highly 
respected curricula of .NET courses.

Topics covered included:

§  .NET Platform architecture (covered new 2.0 features as well)

§  Overview of C# programming

§  Reference and Value Types (included Generics from 2.0)

§  Garbage collection

§  Delegates and Events

§  Async execution and synchronization

If you are new to developing on ConferenceXP or new to C# and managed 
code, watch the videos of the pre-workshop 
<http://research.microsoft.com/conferencexp/resources_library.aspx> 
training prior to registering and attending this year's workshop (note: 
requires Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or later).
