Purpose of the Course

This hands-on workshop environment provides a comprehensive 22 session, 11-week program covering
Windows programming using Visual Basic and Relational Database development geared to preparing for the Microsoft Visual Basic Certification Examination. This certification is highly regarded in industry as a benchmark of achievement and a symbol of true Microsoft software expertise.

This course covers all subjects necessary to pass the Microsoft Visual Basic Certification Examinations and goes into more depth in the areas of the Win 32 operating systems, Object Oriented Development and Client Server development.

To effectively use any Windows programming application the developer must know the language (i.e. Visual Basic) and also the surrounding technologies. For Microsoft Windows Applications these include; the Windows operating system (API calls), ActiveX and COM technology, and accessing databases from Visual Basic. The latter includes both the Access database and server databases such as Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle. This extensive course includes all of the above complete with working examples and constructive labs.
