Course Outline
This course is a favourite for experienced ASP.NET developers who need to ensure they are maximising their use of the technology to help build efficient, robust and secure applications.
We will focus on best practises, OOP, web services, server controls, security, and AJAX features implemented in ASP.NET AJAX. We also cover development using Silverlight, and LINQ, and WCF.
The course adds real value, and delegates will benefit from the experience of a senior ASP.NET consultant / developer leading the course, and also from interacting with other, like-minded delegates who are looking to get more out of the technology.
This course follows on from our introduction to ASP.NET course, and builds additional in-depth knowledge on many topics while introducing new ones such as Enterprise Templates, Silverlight, WCF, LINQ, threading, and the Microsoft Application Test Centre. Examples will be in C# or VB.NET and hands-on exercises will be done within Visual Studio 2012
This course should help reduce maintenance costs by building more robust and re-usable code and in developing Enterprise templates to enforce corporate standards.
The advanced ASP.NET course gives delegates an opportunity to interact with each other and with the instructor, to explore best practices, and areas of common interest relating to ASP.NET. Sessions have included specifics such as how to create an ASP.NET AJAX Repeater in ASP.NET MVC, events in the ASP.NET page lifecycle, ASP.NET forums and hosting. We encourage Advanced ASP.NET delegates to participate and contribute in these discussions as this makes the course a lot livelier and interesting for all.
