ASP.NET 3.5
Course Outline

DURATION 3 Days
PREREQUISITES Students are expected to have experience of either C# or VB.Net. Those who do not may want to consider the C# or VB.NET courses. Some understanding of HTML will also be an advantage and delegates without this knowledge are encouraged to self-study in this area prior to the course.
DESCRIPTION

This course introduces delegates to ASP.NET, the web application framework that developers can use to build dynamic, data-driven web applications.

Delegates learn how to build web forms, to add controls, validation and security, to manage state and to interact with datasources (RDBMS, XML and text files). They will also learn how to make use of Master Pages to provide a consistent look and feel to their applications and how to use the Web.config file to configure their applications.

The course is suitable for both C# and VB.NET developers - please specify which language you would prefer your course materials to be in at the time you book.

This course covers both ASP.NET 2.0 and the new features introduced in ASP.NET 3.5.
