Duration: 5 Days
In this 5-day course, you will learn the fundamentals of building interactive, dynamic web applications using the .NET framework. You'll learn the essentials of the framework using either C# or VB.NET - with examples and exercises provided in both - and get an introduction to the .NET base class library. Then, move on to ASP.NET and learn to put your skills to use building interactive, feature-rich web pages.
What You Will Learn
- Understand the .NET framework
- Run and compile .NET programs
- Understand data types, language constructs, and flow control
- Understand classes and objects, and inheritance
- Leverage controls provided by the framework and how to extend and build custom controls
- Use the ASP.NET syntax and structure
- Understand and use many built-in namespaces and base classes
- Create pages that work with interactive form data
- Work with the intrinsic objects used in ASP.NET for managing HTTP requests and responses and maintaining state
- Use ADO.NET to connect to and modify databases
- Use the XML support in .NET to produce XML data, transform data for web pages, and store XML data in a database
- Debug your ASP.NET pages
Audience
This course is for web development professionals who do not have previous experience with the .NET framework and who will need to develop or support enterprise functionality, including operations on multiple databases or legacy applications, within a short timeframe.
Prerequistes
Prior programming experience in at least one object-oriented language such as a .NET language (e.g., C#, VB.NET), Java, C++, or SmallTalk, or significant programming experience in a modern language such as MS Visual Basic.
