Gives in- depth knowledge of LAN management and system/Network administration, XML: The increasing evolution of the Internet from a static information source to a dynamic and programmable environment is universally accessible through Web browsers and standards. This has seen an increasing popularity of XML or Extensible Markup Language as it allows for different environments to inter-operate and communicate via a common language.

.NET: In the year 1998 Microsoft started thinking about a new programming paradigm which would make sure that every programming language could leverage on a common framework, eventually making Internet a programmable entity and that is where the .NET story began.

The first range of Web services using .Net-building blocks were developed as early as May 2001. For more than a year now, Microsoft has been working with the Indian developer communities exposing them to the opportunities around .Net.

More and more organizations are realizing the need to have a reliable, scalable and robust Internet infrastructure in place for the expanding organizational needs in quick time. Microsoft .NET enterprise server products like Biz-talk Server, Commerce Server, Share-point Server and Host Integration Server, etc, are specially designed to take care of all such requirements, building B2B, B2C and B2E Internet infrastructure. With these products helping to build powerful solutions, many companies are moving on to this new technology and training their employees to be .NET engineers and consultants.

Recently, with Visual Studio .Net, which is the Microsoft offering for the developer community to build Web Services, they disseminated more than 1,10,000 beta versions of the product during the last year, and today they have 18 partners who have solutions ready for deployment. .NET has been getting a great response and as awareness about .NET grows, this demand is predicted to be phenomenal.

.NET is Microsoft’s vision for the future of Internet computing and provides tremendous opportunities for Indian developers and IT professionals. The new MOC will empower developers to create programs that transcend device boundaries, and harness the connectivity of the Internet, and in this sense bring about a fundamental shift in software development. .NET and this new curriculum in particular will address exactly these issues making it a timely and relevant offering in the IT education context today.

There is a tremendous industry support for the entire .NET vision and all the new technologies and offerings. “The support we have is from industry watchers, analysts, customers, partners and hardware vendors. But some of the most encouraging response has been from the developer community,” says Pankaj Srivastava, the education and certification manager Micro-soft India. .NET is the vision for the future of computing and the .NET framework is Microsoft’s next generation Web application development platform. It provides key enabling technologies to simplify the creation, deployment and ongoing evolution of secure, scalable and highly available Web applications and Web services while leveraging developer skills. In addition, this framework provides features to help Web developers use Web services as if they were local objects in the developer’s preferred development language to simplify service and application development. Developers will be in a position to focus their time and effort on the unique services that give their company a competitive advantage. “This will result in faster time to market, improved developer productivity and ultimately higher quality software. Any developer who wants to leverage is existing skill sets and get equipped with future proof, Web-based application development skills would find this training extremely valuable,” says Srivastava.
