3. What is ASP.NET? Why Should I Learn ASP.NET? ASP.NET Features How ASP.NET facilitates programmers. What is AJAX? What is ASP.NET MVC? ASP.NET VS. ASP.NET MVC Dynamic Data! Microsoft Web Platform Overview ENWI (Egyptian Next Web Initiative)! Agenda

5. framework = library + skeleton main program

6. Typically used together with Visual Studio

7. or Visual Web Developer Express Edition (free)

8. Without these, web development is difficult:

9. multi-skilled (text & graphical content, code)

10. multi-language

11. XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, OOPL, XML, SQL

12. increasing demands on user experienceWhat is ASP.NET?

13. Web Controls ASP.NET web pages (aka web forms) are made up of a number of ASP.NET web controls around 100 controls are provided, grouped into standard, data, validation, navigation, login, AJAX Can drag and drop these from the toolbox, or code them via web form markup or OO code Each control has properties which allow you to configure its appearance and behaviour You can also code your own, or buy extras

14. ASP.NET Page Life Cycle When a page/form is first loaded its markup is parsed and an object created for each control or standard HTML element Each object is initialised and its initial properties are set according to the web form markup Events are called based on the page state and any user interaction with the page via their browser The list/tree of controls is walked and each in turn is asked to render itself (output HTML for the browser)

15. The Three Styles “Visual” drag and drop GUI/Web UI builder setting properties via forms and check boxes “Declarative” entering definitions of controls and properties using an XML based markup language “Programmatic” plain old fashioned (but OO) code allows for more dynamic interactions

16. Benefits of This Approach This event-driven style of development is very similar to modern Windows programming Rich database-driven web applications can be created using the (code-free) “visual” style complex logic can still be coded when needed and the different styles can be mixed Despite the multiple layers of translation, ASP.NET web applications run as fast as Java(EE), and use less code [Petstore benchmark]

17. Why Should I Learn ASP.NET? Aside from being more powerful, robust, flexible, and feature-rich than its competitors, the numbers speak for themselves. Today's Monster.com numbers look like this: Search in San Diego alone: .NET – 119 Jobs PHP – 48 Jobs JSP – 35 Jobs ColdFusion – 9 CGI – 6 Jobs That’s the beauty of .NET. Not only are you tied to ASP.NET, but because you’re essentially learning a full blown programming language anyway, you can explore opportunities in Windows, Mobile, TabletPC, Component, and Web Services development. SharePoint & CRM

18. All in the Family ASP.NET Dynamic Data & AJAX Presentation ASP.NET WebForms ASP.NET MVC ASP.NET Core Core Runtime

19. Recent Developments Recent enhancements include AJAX jQuery Silverlight/Moonlight (Flash competitor) LINQ (Hibernate competitor) MVC (Struts competitor) Dynamic Data (Ruby on Rails competitor) Chart controls LINQ in particular uses new C# language features

20. AJAX

21. jQuery is a fast and concise JavaScript Library that simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development. jQuery is designed to change the way that you write JavaScript. jQuery

22. LINQ LINQ stands for Language INtegrated Query Adds a query sublanguage to C# and VB.NET Familiar (SQL-like) syntax using the C# language extensions listed above You can teach yourself LINQ using LINQPad* and the Microsoft 101 LINQ samples

23. ASP.NET MVC (Model-View-Controller) More control over your <html/> Intuitive website URLs Client side JavaScript integration Testability and TDD support Not for everyone Manual vs. automatic transmission

24. Code File->New Project

25. Microsoft Web Platform Overview Elements of a Web Development Stack Application FrameworkASP.NET Web Server IIS Database SQL Server Development Tool Visual Studio
