ASP.NET 2.0 Tutorial

ASP.NET 2.0 Tutorial

This tutorial is an updated and expanded version of the earlier tutorial that is more in line with the final release of ASP.NET 2.0. It includes new examples, coding approaches, and explanations. If you have been using the previous tutorial, there should be little difficulty in transitioning to these new materials.

The tutorial is designed for college-level classes in Web Development; however, it is available to anyone with an interest in learning ASP.NET 2.0 from the ground up. It is not designed as comprehensive coverage of ASP.NET 2.0. It presents features and techniques to apply this Web development framework to produce applications of a generally useful nature. It is a learning resource moreso than a reference source.

It assumes familiarity with XHTML, Cascading Style Sheets, and the fundamentals of Web page design. It also requires basic programming skill. Although emphasis is on the Visual Basic language, those with know-how in other languages can adapt to the small amount of syntax required. Users should know the rudiments of database design and the Structured Query Language (SQL) as they apply to Microsoft Access databases. All examples run under the ASP.NET 2.0 framework. They run remotely under Windows Server 2003 or locally under Windows XP Professional. Outputs display properly under current versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer with JavaScript and cookies enabled.
