Developer Express .NET eXpress Persistent Objects (XPO) ( 2 days )

The typical real-world business application must be able to handle relational data fast and efficient, this means that the typical developer must be skilled in this area. Sometimes these skills are partly theoretical knowledge, and partly the knowledge of how to use good tools.

This course is all about taking the pain out of data access - for good! 

We will spend time on the theoretical part of the "impedance mismatch" - the problems you face when you are creating applications with an object oriented structure in one end (your application), and a relational structure in the other (the database), and you will learn how to solve them.

The last - and major - part of the course will be about the eXpress Persistent Objects, a very powerful and complete object relational (O/R) mapper, that can take care of most of the challenges for you.

After the course you will be able to create programs, which can use almost any kind of database as backend storage, without worrying about sql-statements and database differences.

Prerequisites:

We recommend that you are an experienced object oriented programmer, and that you are familiar with developing database driven applications. You should also possess a developers license to the Developer Express XPO OR mapper.
