This course is a primer on VB.Net <strong>for</strong> those programmers already familiar with VB6. The course will cover the major<br />
differences between the two development plat<strong>for</strong>ms <strong>and</strong> will focus on areas where common VB6 methodologies<br />
will cause problems in VB.Net code. This course is recommended <strong>for</strong> those individuals who are either planning to<br />
or who are starting to transition from VB6 to VB.Net.<br />

Microsoft Excel is an indispensable tool <strong>for</strong> scientific calculations <strong>and</strong> laboratory data management <strong>and</strong> is<br />
ubiquitous in the scientific community. Further exp<strong>and</strong>ing the power of Excel is its support <strong>for</strong> the Visual Basic <strong>for</strong><br />
Applications (VBA) programming language <strong>and</strong> a built-in integrated development environment. This two-day short<br />
course will introduce the fundamentals of the VBA core language, examine the interaction of VBA with Microsoft<br />
Excel, <strong>and</strong> explore the use of Excel <strong>and</strong> VBA programming to address basic laboratory aut<strong>omation</strong> challenges.<br />
