|
5
Days |
| Course
Description |
|
Students
will learn how to design, build and test a GUI application with procedures
distributed to operate in a client/server environment.
The course is comprised of a number of modular learner packs. The
first learner pack covers the principles and styles of GUI design
and the client/server basics. The remaining learner packs are hands-on,
allowing students to put the concepts into practice. Each learner
pack will implement different styles of the client/server architecture.
Eighty percent of the workshop is a hands-on environment.
