Course
Course This is a course in event-driven programming building on prior programming
description experience. The course covers topics in control arrays, exception handling, and
the use of properties, controls, and multiple forms. Introduces database
manipulation and database controls, including use of database linking and
programming applications to display, edit, and update databases by use of
the data access object. This course uses advanced programming tools such
as
Visual Studio .Net.
