Course Description
In this advanced class, you'll take an in-depth look at advanced technologies in .NET, emphasizing multitiered and distributed architectures.
This course is the second part of PB Tech Capstone Series: Advanced .NET Programming. PB Tech's Capstone Series courses are project-based and provide hands-on experience to gain practical knowledge of course topics. To take advantage of the Capstone concept, students interested in this course should also enroll in Intermediate .NET Programming using VB.NET and C#. If you attend both Intermediate .NET Programming using VB.NET and C# and Advanced .NET Programming and complete the Capstone project, you will receive the PB Tech Capstone certificate, along with real-world sample code. Both courses are delivered within the same week.
