Course Length: 5-days
Course Overview
You already know how to write simple, static Web pages using HTML and perhaps Cascading Stylesheets and client-side JavaScript code. Now you are ready to create dynamic Web pages using the latest Microsoft server-side technology: ASP.NET.
Course Objective
You will create ASP.NET Web pages that dynamically display content, display, manipulate, and modify data in a relational database, and display, manipulate, and modify XML data.
Target Student
Programmers at any skill level interested in writing ASP.NET applications.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of C#, or prior experience with C++, is required. If you will be using VisualStudio.NET in the course, then we recommend Visual Studio.NETIntroduction, or prior experience with Visual Basic, Visual C++, or Visual InterDev. Prior experience with ASP Classic (2.0 or 3.0) is helpful, but not required. Knowledge of XML basics is also helpful, and so we recommend XMLIntroduction (Second Edition). Knowledge of SQL is also recommended, though not required.
Rapid Introduction to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
Querying Data with Microsoft Transact-SQL
