Taught by David S. Platt, M.E.

President, Rolling Thunder Computing Inc

Instructor in Computer Science, Harvard University Extension School

Author of Introducing Microsoft .NET from Microsoft Press, and Why Software Sucks from A-W

Let Software Legend and Master Instructor David Platt ease your conversion to Microsoft .NET. Your team's time, your project's success, and, let's face it, your career path, are far too valuable to take one-size-fits-all instruction, to have some art major come in and read you a deck of PowerPoint slides. You want the guy who wrote Microsoft's lead book on the topic, the guy who teaches it today at Harvard University Extension School, the guy who's seen hundreds of development projects, knows what makes them succeed, and most important, can explain it to you better than anyone else.

Dave will customize a course of instruction to your specific needs. He doesn't use PowerPoint slides, he teaches with books and with code, Code, CODE! After every class, you get a 1-hour follow-up online meeting, and 90 days of email question support. All classes are available in both C# and Visual Basic. 

There aren't any pre-requisites. Dave will pick your team up wherever they are, and jump start them towards YOUR specific goals. We can start with languages if we need to, or skip them if you already know C# or VB. We can stay a little while in ASP.NET, or longer if you need it, or skip that topic entirely if browser-based applications aren't where you need to be. The same applies to web services and all other topics. YOU'RE in control.

Below you'll see an example of a .NET course, but every customer's situation is unique. Call today and let us customize a class for your team.
