Course Description

ASP.NET is a object based Web development framework that builds on the services provided by the .NET platform. It replaces simple scripting languages like VBScript and JavaScript with true compiled languages like C# and Visual Basic.NET (yes, server-side scripting is dead). Performance, on par with IIS applications written in C++, is orders of magnitude faster than the script-based ASP and accompanying COM technologies.

Intertech Training's Complete ASP.NET provides in-depth coverage of ASP.NET for both C# and Visual Basic .NET developers. The course begins by diving into the core technologies of ASP.NET: the Page lifecycle, code-behind, Web controls, handling events, web site configuration, and ViewState, to name just a few. You will also learn how to use ADO.NET, DataSets, and details of the ASP.NET databinding engine. The course also explores more advanced concepts such as configuring out-of-proc sessions, security, internals of the page rendering process, and using ASP.NET's built-in caching features.

We'll also open the hood on the relationship between IIS and ASP.NET, and get a clear understanding of the entire request processing pipeline. In the process you'll learn when and how to use HttpHandlers, HttpModules, and HttpApplications to extend the request processing pipeline to meet your own application's requirements.

Once you've mastered the technical details of a technology, you still have the challenge of putting it to work, probably on a team of developers. We'll wrap up with some details for managing the ASP.NET development process using Visual Studio.NET, including assembly references, source control, versioning, and the build and deploy process.

Like every Intertech Training course, Complete ASP.NET includes several hands-on exercises that give you the opportunity to immediately apply these new technologies and concepts. The course also provides lab solutions and examples written in C# and Visual Basic .NET.
