Summary
The CSLA .NET framework is an application development framework that reduces the cost of building and maintaining applications.

The framework enables the use of object-oriented design as the basis for creating powerful applications. Business objects based on the framework support many advanced features to simplify the creation of Windows Forms, Web Forms and Web Services interfaces.

CSLA .NET is designed to allow great flexibility in object persistence, so business objects can use virtually any data sources available. The framework is designed to enable single tier and n-tier models through the concept of mobile objects. This provides the flexibility to optimize performance, scalability, security and fault tolerance with no changes to code in the UI or business objects.

Who Should Attend?
In this course you will learn to make the most of using the CSLA .NET Framework. Onsite classes can be delivered using either C# or VB programming languages. Public classes give students the option to use either language for lab work. Students must be familiar with .Net programming techniques and frameworks.
