ASP Net

ASP Level 1 And Level 2
The .Net Framework is a software framework that runs primarily on Microsoft Windows. It includes a large library and provides language interoperability (meaning that each language can use code written in other languages) across several programming languages. Programs written for the .Net Framework execute in a software environment known as the Common Language Runtime (CLR), an application virtual machine that provides important services such as security, memory management, and exception handling. The class library and the CLR together constitute the .Net Framework. The .NET Framework's Base Class Library provides user interface, data access, database connectivity, cryptography, web application development, numeric algorithms, and network communications. Programmers produce software by combining their own source code with the .NET Framework and other libraries. The .NET Framework is intended to be used by most new applications created for the Windows platform. Microsoft also produces a popular integrated development environment largely for .NET software called Visual Studio.

Web Development

AJAX API Programming
AJAX is a group of interrelated web development techniques used on the client-side to create asynchronous web applications. With Ajax, web applications can send data to, and retrieve data from, a server asynchronously (in the background) without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page. Data is usually retrieved using the XMLHttpRequest object. Despite the name, the use of XML is not needed (JSON is often used instead), and the requests do not need to be asynchronous. Ajax is not a single technology, but a group of technologies. HTML and CSS can be used in combination to mark up and style information. The DOM is accessed with JavaScript to dynamically display, and to allow the user to interact with the information presented. JavaScript and the XMLHttpRequest object provide a method for exchanging data asynchronously between browser and server to avoid full page reloads. This class will introduce you to the suite of technologies that are used to create an Ajax web application. This is not, however, simply a catalog of Ajax libraries and tools: all topics covered are grounded in "Real World" usage. Learning in this class is designed to go above and beyond the "what" and "how" of Ajax. After completing this course, you will be well versed in the critical answers to "why" and "when", as they relate to the technical foundations of building dynamic web applications. The material covers Ajax foundations including HTTP, asynchronous communication, advanced JavaScript, the DOM API, events, and JSON, as well as higher level topics in debugging, security, and frameworks (jQuery). Lab work focuses on creating the dynamic portions of a Web site, including JSPs, Servlets, and JavaScript.

Course Objectives

After completing this course students will:
  • Understand the relationship between the different protocols that comprise "Ajax"
  • Create asynchronous requests through the use of the XMLHttpRequest object
