OBJECTIVE

As the part played by Internet in our daily life increases so does the importance of methods and means of Web site realization. This course is devoted to a survey Web site preparation, considering both client- and server-side programming. Special emphasis will be assigned to mark-up and scripting languages.  Participant of the course will learn xHTML and XML with style considerations, Web site scripting and salient features of C# language for the purpose; Microsoft .Net technology and server-side programming through ASP.Net. Web forms, control and Web services will as well be covered.

Participant of the course will be required to carry out practical work in terms of assignments and small projects.

To access documents for weekly lab, use Semester Plan of Schedule and Material as adjusted for the change of midterms week.

 

Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition is a reduced version of Visual Studio .NET 2005 for your home PC use. You may download it from the link given if you wish, but you can obtain a CD copy from CMPE System Admin Mr. Hürol Mear (Office # 206). This version is much lighter then the full version, so it would be much easier for students to install at home.

 

Students may as well consider using the Web Matrix at home. Microsoft ASP.NET Web Matrix is an extremely light-weight and free Web development tool that is currently standing at version 0.6 but rather stable. Download size is 1.3 MB; total install size is just 2.75 MB.

NB: WebMatrix is for Win XP/2000 and it requires the recent version of .NET Framework installed.

If you do not have .NET Framework already installed, do not try downloading it over the internet as it's 30 MB. Intranet users can donwload it from the FTP site of Computer Engineering Department. Alternatively, you can borrow the MSDN Academic Alliance CD from the Department's System Admin Hürol Mear (Office # 206). Or, bring one writable blank CD with you in order to secure your own copy.

You can study the Tutorial Lab on WebMatrix of Spring 2004 Semester.
