This UK BUG hands-on training day was held on 15th May & repeated on 3rd July, 2003 in Upavon, Wiltshire, England.

Attendees bringing a computer to this session should ensure they have the following:

• Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Server 2003
• The Microsoft .NET Framework SDK, although since this is a big download, it will be available on the day on CD-ROM and on a USB stick.
• One or more of the following:
  • Visual Studio.NET
  • SharpDevelop, the Open Source .NET IDE

For those who attended the first hands-on training day (Getting Started With C#), or who have basic C# experience, this day should put you in a much more commanding position with the language. It looks at more advanced language constructs and aspects involved with developing C# applications. Note that this day will not focus on the .NET class library so much as the C# language itself.
