Prerequisites: Basic familiarity with the .NET Framework and Visual Studio 2008. Class is taught in C#, but Visual Basic users are welcome. Sample programs are in VS 2008 C#.   Knowledge of CAB/SCSF is not required.

Remote Connection: The class will be taught via Microsoft Live Meeting or Webex (haven't decided yet). Information about your hardware and software setup is at this link. I'll share my desktop, so you can see what I'm working on at any time. I'll send you the sample code so you can browse through it at your own pace during the class, and the course notes too. We've run remote classes before, and most people liked the results. While it wasn't quite the same as being there in person, a live instructor was much more effective than any recording or self-study. And everyone liked not having to travel.

Price:  US$ 1595 per person if registered before 1700 ET on December 1, 2009. US$ 1895 per person thereafter. Payment required via credit card or PayPal during online  registration.
