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

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 created a third ASP.NET online class called Database Web Development with ASP.NET at LVS Online.com.
This 6-week class will focus on how you can interact with databases such as SQL Server, MySQL and Microsoft Access using ASP.NET and C#. I start with the very basics on explaining how to use data source controls and objects in ADO.NET (Connection, Command, DataReader and DataSet) to retrieve, update and delete records in a database.
The great thing about ASP.NET is that you can work with almost any data source and are not limited to a Microsoft based technology. I provide a sample database in three separate versions (SQL Server, MySQL and Microsoft Access) and explain how SQL (Structure Query Language) statements are used to interact with your data.
The class is only $30 and there are no other materials or software needed.
Topics Covered:
Week 1: Database Overview (SQL Server, MySQL, Microsoft Access)
Week 2: Using SqlDataSource; SELECT statement and filtering data
Week 3: ADO.NET Review; Connection, Command and DataReader objects
Week 4: Updating and Inserting data (using data controls and ADO.NET objects)
Week 5: Databinding Techniques with GridView and DetailsView controls
Week 6: Understanding Stored Procedures (SQL Server and MySQL)
Extra: Concurrency issues and Transaction benefits

I created a second ASP.NET online class called Intermediate Web Development with ASP.NET at LVS Online.com.
This 6-week class will continue from my Beginning Web Development with ASP.NET class and focus more on ‘real-world’ ASP.NET programming topics. Since the first class focused on getting you up to speed on how ASP.NET works and the C# programming language, this intermediate class lets you take those skills in developing ASP.NET web sites.
The class is only $30 and there are no other materials or software needed.
Topics Covered:
Week 1: Master Page Basics
Week 2: Creating an ASP.NET Website from and HTML/CSS Design
Week 3: View State, Query String, Cookies, and Session State
Week 4: OOP: Building Your Own Objects
Week 5: Creating Your Own Controls: User Controls

If you have taken either the Basic Web Applications with ASP or ASP E-Commerce Database Basics class, you will see all the huge differences between ASP and ASP.NET. These differences will show you how quickly and more efficiently you can create dynamic web sites.

If you are using my online ASP.NET Workshop to learn the basics of creating web applications using ASP.NET, one of the lessons that often gets overlooked by the novice (including me) is how does the ASP.NET architecture work behind the scenes. Although learning this may seem a bit too technical or unnecessary since all you want to do is create some dynamic web pages, it is worth taking a brief look at least at these informative videos.

Sean Hull wrote two great articles describing the differences between the latest versions of PHP (ver 5) and ASP.NET (ver 2.0). The first article gave a good introduction to both technologies, while the second article went into more detail of advanced features such as OOP in PHP and the .NET framework in ASP.NET.
