> Target Audience
THIS COURSE HAS NOW RETIRED. PLEASE SEE THE SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION FOR DETAILS OF ALTERNATIVE COURSES.
This course is intended for Solution Developers who have been tasked with designing the migration of an existing n-tier solution to a .NET-based solution. These Solution Developers will have at least four years of development experience with at least one year of this experience with .NET. For the purposes of this course, the Solution Developer is assumed to be a competent .NET developer with experience in designing and developing .NET applications.
This course is not intended for an Application Developer who would implement the actual migration to .NET.
