How to Learn Net Framework 3.0

The .NET framework is the standard foundation for all Windows software. Each Windows machine is packaged with the .NET framework installed. You develop your software based on this framework using the Visual Studio application. The.NET framework provides the platform for Windows desktop, web, mobile and AJAX development. The libraries for .NET are extensive, so a beginner and advanced user can benefit from learning more about the platform.

      Purchase a Microsoft Press book that focuses on the .NET 3.0 framework. Microsoft Press is the official publisher for the .NET references found at any local bookstore or online web store. Microsoft also publishes books for advanced programmers who only need a reference to the libraries.

      Complete each practice exam at the back of each book. Many books have practice code and exams that help fortify what you have learned in the chapters. Typing the code into your .NET editor helps you visualize and view the .NET execution.

      Use the Microsoft Labs (see resource) to practice .NET concepts and coding standards. These labs are online classes that run you through programming your first application.

    • 4

      Run the debugger in your code editor. The debugger is the main tool used to troubleshoot any coding issues. The debugger helps you understand how .NET code executes line-by-line. For Microsoft's Visual Studio, you can start the debugger by pressing the F5 key.

      Practice several times a week to compound more theories and syntax onto your basic knowledge. Knowing a coding language is similar to learning a regular language. Keep practicing, so you don't lose what you have learned, and you become more familiar with .NET resources.
