Update April 2011This class has been re-vamped, and includes the exact same materials from the class I teach at at
eClasses.org.
This ASP.NET class will teach client-side Web developers with C# experience the fundamentals of Web application site implementation using Microsoft ASP.NET. The class focuses on using the Microsoft .NET platform to create an ASP.NET Web application that delivers dynamic content to a Web site.

The class is only $25 and there are no other materials or software needed.
Topics Covered:
Week 1: Creating your first ASP.NET page
Week 2: Web Control Classes
Week 3: Visual Appearance and Standard Site Layout
Week 4: Maintaining state

Like any language, ActionScript evolves over time. ActionScript 3.0 is simply the latest version of the Flash programming language that lets you control graphics, animation, sound, and interactivity. However, ActionScript 3.0 represents a significant change (some may say revolutionary) from the previous versions because in many ways it is conceptually and architecturally different.
Key differences from ActionScript 2.0 include:

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

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.
As I am cursed with no artistic talent whatsoever, I am amazed at what people can do with Flash. From simple animated banners to truly beautiful interactive web sites. I do not use Flash on a regular basis, but am knowledgeable of the scripting language ActionScript and what it can do for Flash.
As an adjunct faculty for a local community college, I ocassionally teach weekend classes on Flash. One of the classes I teach is on the basics of ActionScript.

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

Learning Flash by watching videos is a very efficient way to learn specific techniques without going through books or online tutorials. As I mentioned in a previous post about online learning, there are many website that offer video tutorials on different web technologies including Flash.
