ASP.NET
Course overview
This five-day course provides a comprehensive and practical hands-on introduction to developing Web applications using ASP.NET and Visual Studio 2017. It includes an introduction to ASP.NET MVC, a newer Web programming framework that incorporates use of the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern. It also includes coverage of using ASP.NET AJAX to build rich client applications and the use of Web API to create HTTP services. A final chapter introduces ASP.NET on Microsoft’s Azure cloud. The fundamentals of Web applications are reviewed, and a testbed is established for ASP.NET and Internet Information Services. The architecture of ASP.NET is outlined, including the role of compilation, the Page class and code-behind. Web Forms are introduced, including server controls, view state, life cycle, and the event model.
