Courses

Beta V Corporation is chartered to provide a focused set of books and courseware designed to keep developers up to speed on the latest, most efficient, and "best practices" data access technology. See our new course catalog for a complete descriptions of our offerings. You'll need the Adobe Reader 5.0 or later to read it. Now that the NDAs have been lifted, Beta V is ready to provide in-depth courseware on Whidbey and Yukon (Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005) functionality. We also have developed courseware on SQL Server Reporting Services as well.
 

Delivery

Beta V currently delivers courses using both Live In-Person as well as Live Online delivery technology. Our growing list of offerings is designed to make Visual Basic data access development faster and easier for your development team. These courses can be offered singly or in any combination. Beta V can also construct custom courses based on your specific requirements.

  • Live In-Person

    • For Live In-Person courses, your company pays the course fee, travel, and accommodation expenses for the trainer. The course fee can include a bound student guide that contains the slides and supplementary notes. It's best to arrange for courses at least 90 days ahead of time as the schedule tends to fill fairly quickly. Contact us for prices and scheduling.

  • Live Online

    • Beta V also offers Live Online courses using Net Meeting.
       
    • William Vaughn also created a number of online presentations while he was at Microsoft. A link to the only  remaining session is included below. This session provides a way to hear a popular technical talk and see the slides as the talk progresses. It's not the same as a live presentation, but you don't have to sit on a cramped airline seat to hear them--and they're free.  Building Successful SQL Server applications with VB
       
    • Using Net Meeting 

      • You or your company can arrange to have any of the courses (except where noted) delivered via Microsoft Net Meeting™. Many larger companies have had a great deal of success with this technology. Basically, Beta V and your site set up one or more Net Meeting connections. This permits your company's developers to hear and view a  live presentation including live, interactive demonstrations. Students also get to ask questions in real time through a company-provided coordinator who aggregates and passes the questions on to the instructor. The costs associated with this technology are far lower and can be more easily arranged than in-person training sessions. 
         
      • NetMeeting courses are far easier to arrange as Bill can work these into his schedule with far more flexibility. All you need is a PC connected to the Web or even a video projector-based classroom if you want your whole team to view the presentation.
  • Third-Party courses

    • There are also other courses available from third-party vendors. Carl Franklin is one such trainer who offers a course on VB.Net content. Carl's course is touted as: "Five incredible days with VB.NET, the choice development environment for Visual Studio.NET--the next generation of Visual Studio--a critical part of Microsoft's .NET Strategy, with Microsoft Regional Director, author, and industry expert Carl Franklin at this VB.NET Master Class.
