Quick Enrol

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
