Beginning ASP.NET AJAX Web Development Class
I created an AJAX ASP.NET class called AJAX Web Development with ASP.NET at LVSOnline.com. This fourth ASP.NET class in the series focuses on teaching students how the Ajax can be integrated within the ASP.NET framework.
Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) isn’t a technology but rather a grouping of technologies. Ajax uses a communication technology (typically SOAP and XML) to send and receive an asynchronous request/response to the server, and then leverages presentation technologies (JavaScript, DOM, HTML, and CSS) to process the response.
Ajax lets you execute a server-side method through a JavaScript call, without requiring a browser refresh.
The class is only $30 and there are no other materials or software needed to purchase.
Topics covered:
Week 1: Ajax overview; partial rendering; Ajax Extension controls; Script Manager
Week 2: Update Panel; Handing client errors; Update Progress
Week 3: AJAX Control Toolkit
Week 4: JavaScript libraries: jQuery
Week 5: Timer, Web Services and JSON Overview
Week 6: AJAX ASP.NET Controls: Telerik
To give you an idea of how each lesson looks, here is the first lesson (.pdf).
When Does Class Start?
The class runs five times a year for six weeks in January, March, May, August and October. To learn more view the course description page and contact me to find out the exact date on when you can register.
Currently taking this course with Frank and have to say it has been a pleasure. I’m somewhat of a javascript fanatic, so having my development playground include integrated javascript within the .NET environment (can you say IntelliSense) was definitely an invitation to a new adventure.
And…Frank has been just the right guide. His knowledge… perhaps more important… his experience with the subject matter has shown thru in all the weeks of training. And..he’s laid back enough (patient) to give everyone slack/time to understand and discover solutions for their assignments.
And all of this for only $30…how could I go wrong??? Thanks Frank – perhaps we’ll connect with another training in the future.
Peace….John
I just finished the course. It was a great course. Frank is an excellent instructor. His real world experience is very helpful. I found the jQuery lesson particularly helpful. I’ll definitely be using that tool on future sites. Thanks Frank!
