ASP.NET 2.0 Training

ASP.NET 1, 2, 3! is a new training course brought to you by the creators of SharePoint 1, 2, 3! ASP.NET 1, 2, 3! continues the tradition of community-based training offered to the development community by the development community. ASP.NET 1, 2, 3! features six sessions created to train developers to create, deploy, and maintain ASP.NET web applications using the .NET 2.0 Framework.  Using the same paired session approach as SharePoint 1, 2, 3!, ASP.NET 1, 2, 3! begins each course with a lecture style seminar and follows with a hands on lab where you the student get to work with all the technology we've covered.  ASP.NET 1, 2, 3! features a 100 level course that is designed to take a developer completely unfamiliar with ASP.NET and teach them about what ASP.NET is and what it offers them.  The 200 level course is designed to dive deeper into development and work with web parts, profiles, and the ASP.NET 2.0 application framework.  The final level 300 course immerses the students in ASP.NET 2.0 advanced topics such as custom providers, web services, and more.

At course completion students will be able to:

  • Understand ASP.NET's pipeline, including HTTPHandlers and page lifecycle
  • Design and use MasterPages, Skins and Themes, User Controls, and custom Server Controls
  • Create and deploy ASP.NET 2.0 web parts and how ASP.NET 2.0 web parts compare to SharePoint web parts
  • Create fully functional portal-style web applications, taking advantage of user profiles, membership, security, and more
Who Should Attend?

Each session of ASP.NET 1, 2, 3! is designed for developers who want to improve their strength as ASP.NET developers. This course can be used as training material for developers who have never worked with ASP.NET or as a refresher for those who have.

The sessions build on each other so if you are a developer interested in ASP.NET, be sure to attend all of the sessions!
