DESCRIPTION

An exiting introduction through Microsoft .NET, the development framework that will dominate software development in the first decade of this millenium.
.NET offers an environment for integrated use of the Visual Basic .NET, Visual C++ and Visual C# languages. A large set of predefined classes and standardized access to the Windows environment ensure .NET will get very popular for developing Windows Forms.
Extended with ASP.NET and the XML designer, .NET finally makes web programming an integral part of developing applications.
The goal of this course is to teach students how to create a simple Microsoft ASP.NET application that delivers dynamic content to the Web.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

In this course, we discover the different capabilities of .NET, with an emphasis on "hands-on" development of sample programs.
Create a Web form with server controls.
Separate page code from content by using code-behind pages, user controls, and components.
Debug ASP.NET pages by using trace.
Use a Web service to enhance a Web application.
Add configuration, authentication, and state management to an ASP.NET Web application.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This course is intended for developers of Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP).
In taking this course, it is assumed that students are familiar with Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), client-side and server-side scripting, and Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects (ADO)

Before attending this course, students must be able to:

-Create forms and tables in HTML.
-Write Microsoft Visual Basic or Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) code.
