.NET Remoting Using Visual Basic 2005

with Barry Solomon

Course Description: Remoting allows programs and software components to interact across application domains, processes and machine boundaries. This course covers many aspects of .NET remoting in-depth. You will learn how the .NET remoting architecture provides a means of establishing and working with secure, distributed enterprise level applications. You will also build a solid foundation for the development of remoting, and gain an understanding of client- and server-activated objects.

Prerequisites: This course assumes that students have some programming background and is appropriate for experienced application developers with more than three years of development and at minimum one year experience with .NET. Specific experience with Visual Studio 2005 or the .NET Framework is extremely useful. This course moves quickly through a broad range of advanced programming topics. Prior knowledge of distributed technologies such as DCOM or COM+ is useful.
