VB.NET and ADO.NET Webcast Seminar |
Dr. Dobson's practice, CAB, Inc., sponsored five prior national seminar tours during 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2003.
The attendees came from a broad range of backgrounds. Most were IT professionals from
 | large and mid-sized business and government organizations, |
| firms serving vertical markets, such as health care and oil services, as well as |
| universities and colleges |
| independent consultancies serving small business and departments in large organizations. |
These IT pros tended to have database developer or administrator responsibilities, including Access, SQL Server, and VB, VBA, or VB.NET. Some attendees had Help desk and webmaster responsibilities.
