Microsoft .NET briefing

This one-day instructor lead presentation is designed for anyone who wishes to understand Microsoft's .NET technology, how it is currently being used and the future directions for further development of web services using .Net. This course is intended to be an introduction to .Net and how it works aimed at non-technical delegates, typically web project managers or web strategists who need to understand the potential of the technology but will not be responsible for its actual development.
