Course DescriptionThis course provides students with hands on experience using Visual Studio to create
Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) applications using VB.NET. The class provides a
thorough introduction to the VB.NET programming language, including coverage of the
essentials of the VB.NET programming language, built in data types, operators, control
structures, classes and methods, collections and exception handling.
Students then learn how to leverage the power of the .NET Framework to build WPF
applications. Students learn the basics of XAML and how to use it to describe the
appearance and behavior of WPF user interfaces. Students also learn how to use XAML
resources to manage styles, triggers and control templates.
Students learn how use a variety of WPF controls to interact with users and manage data in
multi-form applications. Students explore how to leverage the power of XAML data binding.
Students also learn the basics of working with images and simple animations.
Students learn how to use their data binding and command skills to implement the MVVM
design pattern with WPF applications, including case studies. Students will also learn how
to leverage the power of web services by calling both SOAP services and RESful APIs.
Other topics include: debugging techniques; building menus, toolbars and status bars;
reading and writing files; and deploying WPF applications. Comprehensive labs and
exercises provide the students with extensive experience creating and debugging WPF
applications.
This course provides thorough coverage of the use of Windows Presentation
Foundation (WPF) to build desktop applications. Students requiring additional coverage
of Windows Forms, ASP.NET Web Forms, ASP.NET MVC or WCF should contact HOTT
or refer to HOTT's complete course listing for additional training courses.
Students who are already familiar with the VB.NET language may want to take the
3-day WPF Programming for Experienced VB.NET Programmers class instead.
Course Prerequisites
Knowledge of fundamental XML syntax is helpful, but not required. Prior experience with a
scripting or programming language is required.
