Course description

In this course, you will learn how to use features of Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Basic/C# 2010 to build ASP.NET Web pages. You will gain an understanding of the architecture behind ASP.NET and how to use the various ASP.NET server controls. You will learn to create consistent web sites using Master Pages, add membership features and configure-deploy ASP.NET applications, to authenticate users and limit their access to resources, direct users using Site Navigation tools, debug .NET, and to display/edit data using ASP.NET and ADO.NET. In addition, you will learn about ASP.NET features, such as support for LINQ (Language Integrated Query), CSS tools, and will become familiar with the tracing features in Visual Studio that help you quickly troubleshoot issues. You will also learn how to work with ASP.NET Profile features, ASP.NET Web Parts, and how to take advantage of creating your own user-defined control. As you progress through the course you will learn about optimizing your sites, the ListView control, and so much more.

Each LearnNowOnline training course is made up of Modules (typically an hour in length). Within each module there are Topics (typically 15-30 minutes each) and Subtopics (typically 2-5 minutes each). There is a Post Exam for each Module that must be passed with a score of 70% or higher to successfully and fully complete the course.


Prerequisites

This course assumes that students have already been introduced to Visual Studio 2008 or 2010 and Visual Basic, and have a basic understanding of the .NET Framework. Some prior experience with Web development will also be helpful.
