This course is intended for beginning Web developers who have knowledge of the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) or dynamic HTML (DHTML), along with some knowledge of a scripting language, such as Visual Basic Scripting Edition or Microsoft JScript. This course is also appropriate for Visual Basic 6.0 developers wanting to learn ASP.NET.

Delegates will learn how to:

• Explain the Microsoft .NET Framework and ASP.NET
• Create a component in Visual Basic .NET or C#.
• Create an ASP.NET Web application project by using Visual Studio .NET.
• Add server controls to an ASP.NET Web Form.
• Create and populate ASP.NET Web Forms.
• Add functionality to server controls that are on an ASP.NET Web Form.
