Desc:      An in-depth lecture style training to enable attendees to write real world LightSwitch applications

CODE Training and EPS Software will be holding an intensive 1-day lecture style boot-camp on LightSwitch, specifically designed for developers of business applications who wish to learn the latest Microsoft .NET technologies. This particular class shows how to create modern but standard data/business applications as quickly as you used to be able to since the long gone days of monolithic, single-workstation apps. The training class will be held at our offices in Houston, Texas as well as online via GoToMeeting.  After the class, attendees will receive the PowerPoint slides, the code samples and videos of each class as reference materials. 

This class is part of our "XAML Week" Event. Classes can be booked as individual days or you can book the entire week of related classes at a significant discount.


This comprehensive 1-day class starts at a beginner level, but quickly moves beyond theory to enable attendees to learn how to write real world LightSwitch applications. Attendees will also get the opportunity to discuss their projects and have their questions personally answered by LightSwitch experts.
