Course overview
Building on fundamental website knowledge, this course concentrates on dynamic web pages, i.e. pages which relate to a database. You will learn how to pass information that the user provides on a web form to a database, and how to let users search your database, returning the results to dynamic web pages.

Additionally, the course will show you how to create a master-detail 'drill-down' and how to drive form elements from a database (for example, filling in choices for a drop-down menu). The idea of Session 'state' is introduced and used, for example, to check if users have logged in to your web application.

Throughout, best practice with ASP.NET is encouraged, such as code-behind pages and modular application elements.

Who should attend
Knowledge of HTML is expected and experience with .NET programming languages and solid familiarity with web site fundamentals is essential to this course. It is also essential to have some knowledge of simple database files. You do not need any prior SQL or ASP.NET experience.

This course can be delivered in a number of environments, including Visual Studio.NET, Dreamweaver or Microsoft Web Matrix.
