I am teaching database-based ASP online class called ASP E-Commerce Database Basics at LVS Online.com.

This 6-week class will teach you how to interact with a database by displaying, retrieving and updating data. The class is a continuation from where I left off from my Basic Web Applications with ASP class.

The class is only $30 $15 and there are no other materials or software needed.

The class learning level is “intermediate” which means taking the basics you already know and developing a usable web application. The class uses a simple Microsoft Access database (provided), but you can use almost any type of database with minimal code changes.

Topics Covered:

Week 1: E-Commerce types; Overview of ADO; Connecting to our database
Week 2: SQL basics: SELECT, WHERE, ORDER BY, LIKE
Week 3: SQL continued: INSERT INTO and UPDATE; Managing our Products
Week 4: Recordsets and Pagination; Creating a Search
Week 5: Shopping Cart pt 1
Week 6: Shopping Cart pt 2; Checkout Process

The Online Store gives students a good example to use and refer to when they need to create their own database-driven dynamic web sites.

Here is the first lesson (.pdf) for you to see how it looks.

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.

I only cover the basics of ADO in this class, but if you need addtional reference material here is an ADO Reference Guide (.pdf) by DevGuru.

I am teaching a ASP online class called Basic Web Applications with ASP at LVS Online.com, which will teach you the basics of creating server-side web development using Active Server Pages.

This 6-week class is great for people who have some basic web experience (HTML or CSS or JavaScript) and want to know how they can develop dynamic web pages on the web server.

The class is only $30 $15 and there are no other materials or software needed.

Even though Active Server Pages has been replaced by ASP.NET, it is still used by many companies and the process for server-side development is the same no matter what technology you use. Many of the objects in ASP are still used in the ASP.NET framework and would make the transition to a newer technology a lot easier.

Checkout these great reference guides (.pdf) on ASP and VBScript by DevGuru on to learn even more.

Topics Covered:

Week 1: How a web server works, server-side vs. client-side
Week 2: Processing Form Results
Week 3: VBScript Basics
Week 4: Redirecting the User
Week 5: More VBScript – Arrays and Loops
Week 6: Sessions and Cookies
