This page is meant to help you find
the right courses to get up to speed quickly in the technologies of Microsoft
.NET. There are many new Microsoft Official Curriculum courses for .NET
and it is important to find the right ones and to take them in the best
order. This curriculum is a big portion of my course offerings. I used ASP.NET and
Visual Studio .NET to create this page.
The table below shows my suggested order
for taking courses from top to bottom, depending on student goals and skill
level. It was designed as a guide through the .NET related courses that came
out with the introduction of .NET.
For advice about newer courses related to .NET 2.0, Visual Studio
2005, ASP.NET 2.0, and SQL Server 2005, start at the top of my course offerings or at the Microsoft Certification Page for Developers
or this Microsoft Training Page for Developers!
This site represents my view of the
information I have been gathering as an experienced instructor. It
contains many links that point to the official information from Microsoft's Training
and Certification website. I hope this provides you with a good
starting point.
If you have any questions or comments,
please feel free to email me at tluksch@tahoetrain.com.
