New Delhi: TATA Infotech Education on Wednesday launched its .Net education programme under which it introduced the first C Sharp programme in the country for software professionals based on the .Net technology platform from Microsoft. The company will in the long-term introduce more such initiatives, according to Mr Rahul Thapan, head, education services division, Tata Infotech Ltd.

Mr Thapan explained, "The aim is to impart education in line with the IT industry needs. All our courses provide a solid foundation of concepts that are further value-added through specialisation in technology and applications."

The programme includes concepts on the .Net platform, Windows 2000, followed by details on C Sharp, which is a object-oriented development language that enables programmers to build solutions for the Microsoft .Net platform. The framework provided allows C Sharp components to become Web services that are available across the Internet from any application running on any platform.

Mr Thapan pointed out, "The students will get a hands-on feel of the .Net technology and become proficient in C Sharp language."

The duration of the programme is 106 hours and it is priced at Rs 11,900.

Mr Thapan said the company, under its fresh perspective, has adopted reverse integration as a means to move forward. This entails going to corporates to know the potential opening areas. The process ensures that the courses are able to keep up with the requirements of IT industry, he added.

"The module aims to provide just-in-time technology skills for software development. It targets the segment of professionals looking to upgrade skills," Mr Thapan said.
