NT Developer Training

Duration: 3 Days

Tuition: US $1,275

Who Should Attend

This three-day course (with hands-on labs) was designed specifically for academics that wish to apply their UNIX knowledge when exploring Windows NT. The primary audience is faculty, researchers and graduate students with some development background on UNIX.

Course Overview

A number of Microsoft Official Courses are combined and condensed, and then tuned to take into account the UNIX experience that is common among Computer Science faculty at universities across the United States. The result is a course that will prepare the student to understand and oversee the work of staff and students that use Microsoft Windows NT.

At Course Completion

At the conclusion of this course, the student will have a sufficient understanding of the features and implementation of Windows NT’s operating system, services, and tools, to undertake more specialized studies in areas of interest and/or to direct the work of others that use Windows NT.
