vb.net training in Gauteng (instructor led/full-time)

[MansoorM]

Hi there.

I am a developer (informix 4GL/SQL mostly) for over a decade. I also do a bit of VB6 dev/debugging from time to time. An opportunity has presented itself to be sent for VB.net training.
Any suggestions as to suitable venues in Gauteng (JHB/PTA)?

1. what would look good on a CV? (marketability)
2. what would equip me with the necessary skills to develope web pages? (like a hello-peter page, db driven)
3. Price/Duration/Times of the course?

Would apprecate any advise in this regard.

Thanking you in advance...

1) I'd say Torque IT, but what would look good? Experience
2) It entirely depends. Do you want to design AND develop it? Because those are 2 different skill-sets
3) That you can find out at whatever institute you want to attend. Full-time it's about 1 month, Part-time about 3. But those are the basic of basics.

1. I've got 5 years dev experience in the Retail Industry and 7 in Telecoms.
was actually looking at torque-it... their "DE-4994A" course. Only concern is that it's "Introduction to Programming Microsoft .NET Applications with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005", hope thats just a typo... 2005?
2. I actually have the designs.. some in my head, some transferred to pdf/word documents (just incase). so it's now just a matter of developing it
3. the torque-IT course is about 6250excl. 5 day course. (which is ideal). Do I really need 'basics of basics'? I do have a brief overview of event driven and object orientated programming. So something that covers the how-tos/syntax should suffice.... shouldn't it?

Any other suggestions/recommendations out there?

Thanks again.

If you're used to VB6 etc then it's going to be a bit of a mind-**** for you to get use to VS.NET

2005? I also hope that's a typo. They should be doing VS.NET 2010 and WPF/WCF stuff now (which I suggest you do instead of the older one)
