Internet Courses:
ASP.NET Using VB.NET, ADO.NET & XML Training Course

You already know how to write simple, static Web pages using HTML and perhaps Cascading Stylesheets and client-side JavaScript code. Now you are ready to create dynamic Web pages using the latest Microsoft server-side technology: ASP.NET.

You will create ASP.NET Web pages that dynamically display content, display, manipulate, and modify data in a relational database, and display, manipulate, and modify XML data.

Target Student: Programmers at any skill level interested in writing ASP.NET applications.

To ensure your success, it is required that you first take the following PTR courses or have equivalent knowledge:

• Object-Oriented Programming: Principles
• .NET Framework: Introduction
• HTML Web Authoring

Knowledge of VisualBasic.NET, or prior experience with VB6 or VBScript, is also required. Knowledge of XML basics is also helpful, and so we recommend XML: Introduction. Knowledge of SQL is also recommended, though not required.
