You Will Learn How To

  • Create multitier Web applications using Visual Studio, ASP.NET and Ajax
  • Design for data independence with Entity Framework, LINQ and ADO.NET
  • Leverage distributed sessions, page inheritance and caching in ASP.NET
  • Program a business layer with stateful objects and distributed transactions
  • Create a more responsive User Interface (UI) using Ajax Extensions and the Ajax Control Toolkit
  • Develop fast, efficient Web pages with WCF Web services and jQuery

Course Benefits

Modern Web sites need to be able to handle simultaneous users while providing a fast, responsive Web 2.0 interface. In this course, you create a multitier Web site using Visual Studio and .NET. You learn how to create a scalable architecture, use WCF services and MSMQ for asynchronous distributed programming, and how to enhance the UI with Ajax Extensions, the Ajax Control Toolkit and jQuery.

Hands-On Training

You gain experience building a scalable application. Exercises, presented in VB or C#, include:
  • Creating custom business entities
  • Building a data access layer
  • Exploiting ASP.NET security features for Web UIs
  • Programming transactional components
  • Building a richer UI using Ajax Extensions
  • Connecting Ajax to WCF Web services
