In case you haven’t seen it. Going to be a great set of sessions!
Methods and Masters: Visual Basic Migration Roadshow
Are you a Visual Basic 6.0 developer? Are you creating the same kind of tired applications that you have been building for the last 5-10 years? If so, its time for you to experience first hand what the latest advances in Visual Basic 2005 have in store for you. Whether you need to build Windows applications, Web applications, Pocket PC or SmartPhone applications, or applications that exploit the functionality that exists in Microsoft Office, today’s Visual Basic does it all.
What can you learn about Visual Basic 2005 in three hours? How about creating smart client applications that understand when they’re connected to the network and when they’re not? How about deploying these smart clients with just a click of your mouse? That’s just the beginning. You’ll get powerful lessons from Brian Randell, a master Visual Basic developer. Prepare to:
· Explore custom UI designs and controls that used to require tons of Win 32 API calls and handwritten code that can now be mastered with just a few lines of code and not a single Win32 API call.
· Experience data binding that you’d be proud to use in your own applications instead of sweating it out from scratch.
· Build solutions today that can integrate across your entire enterprise or your home network with powerful and flexible networking classes.
· Learn how to leverage your existing development skills to build great browser-based web applications without writing raw HTML.
· Learn how to protect your investment in VB6 while still moving forward.
Come spend an evening with Brian A. Randell, a senior consultant with MCW Technologies and a Visual Basic MVP. Brian’s been using Visual Basic since Version 2.0 hit the market and he’s spent the last 18 years building solutions and helping developers hone their skills. Brian will demonstrate just how productive (and fun!) development can be with Visual Basic 2005 and he’ll explain how you can make a smooth transition from Visual Basic 6.0.
