Class Overview
This class provides an overview of the DevExpress DXperience ASP.NET suite of products. It takes you through the process of creating a business application, utilizing a typical combination of components throughout the product range. A good practical level of knowledge will be achieved that allows you to write similar business applications on your own, and to understand the DevExpress suite of ASP.NET components well enough to flatten any further learning curve.

Who should attend

.NET developers with basic experience creating ASP.NET (WebForms) applications. The programming language used during the class is C#.The course will be delivered in English.

Depth of Coverage
This class covers a great number of products in a real-world context. The target is to enable you to create your own applications using the DevExpress ASP.NET products. The class is short, so the depth we can go to for any particular one of these complex products is restricted. A complete feature description for any single product is not a target of this class. Of course you can use the opportunity to ask me any questions you like!

Format
This instructor led training class focuses on a step-by-step walkthrough of the creation of a business application for the purpose of Event Management. A further focus is the application of the DevExpress product suite to this scenario, while the sample application remains feature incomplete from the perspective of a real Event Management business. Hands-on labs are presented throughout the class, to enable you to practice the topics, and these labs are meant to be taken away and used after the class. Questions are encouraged.

Oliver Sturm (MVP)

The modern world of software development is a complex one. Technology is evolving continuously, and the approaches and techniques used to create software change at the same speed. It's important to keep up to date, but there are also deadlines to keep!

Making use of services offered by technology experts is the smart decision. A lot of time can be saved in all stages of the development process, by developers and architects alike. The benefit of interacting directly with a consultant or with a trainer can not be overestimated.

I am an internationally well-known expert on programming languages, the .NET platform and products from DevExpress, where I worked as Director of Quality until early 2010. I am a Microsoft C# MVP, author of many training classes and articles and an Associate Consultant at thinktecture.
