Active Server
Pages 2.0: Level 1
Course length: 2 days
Course description
Overview: Students will learn the benefits of using ASP technology to
create dynamic, data-driven Web sites. The course introduces the ASP Object Model,
several built-in ASP Components, Scripting Objects, and the ActiveX Data
Objects (ADO) Model.
Prerequisites: To ensure your success, we recommend you first take the following
Software Training courses:
HTML Programming Level 1
HTML Programming Level 2,
Programming Introduction, JavaScript (Level 1) or
VBScript (Level 1),
SQL Fundamentals of Querying; or have extensive equivalent knowledge.
Delivery method: Instructor-led, group-paced, classroom-delivery learning model
with structured hands-on activities.
Benefits: Students will learn how to create dynamic, database-driven Web
sites. Hands-on tasks follow programming concepts, so that students can
immediately implement what they learn.
Target student: Students needing to transform their static HTML-only Web site
into a dynamic, data-driven Web site that accesses databases, uses COM
components, dynamically serves information from a variety of sources, and much
more.
What's next: Active Server Pages 2.0: Level 2, the second course in
this series, uses the concepts and techniques students learned in this course, Active
Server Pages 2.0: Level 1, to create a diverse set of Web applications.
Along the way students will learn advanced concepts and techniques in Active
Server Page programming.
Performance-based
objectives
Lesson objectives help
students become comfortable with the course, and also provide a means to
evaluate learning. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be
able to:
·
Describe what ASP
is, what platforms and applications support it, and
the role of scripting languages, objects, and components in ASP programming.
·
Use Server-side
Includes to improve Web programming efficiency through
modularization.
·
Describe the role
of the ASP Response object and use its Write, Redirect, and output control
properties and methods.
·
Describe the role
of the ASP Request object and use its Form, QueryString,
and ServerVariables collections to obtain
user-supplied information and environment details.
·
Determine the
value of cookies in maintaining user state and use the Cookie collections of
the Request and Response objects.
·
Describe what ASP
components are and use the Server object to instantiate ASP components.
·
Use the Ad Rotator,
Browser Capabilities, and Content Linking components.
·
Describe the
difference between ASP applications and sessions and use the Global.asa file to launch application and session events.
·
Describe what
Scripting Objects are and use the Dictionary, FileSystemObject,
and TextStream objects to further enable your ASP Web
sites.
·
Describe the
relationship between ASP and
·
Use the Recordset object to display database records, create
on-the-fly combo boxes and option groups, and filter records based on user
input.
·
Add, update, and
delete records in a database using both
·
Use stored
procedures and parameter queries to improve database access on the Web.
·
Create a data
browser that allows forward and backward recordset
browsing and a paged recordset display system.
