.NET University http://www.dotnet-u.com/  is the event series that gives you a practical overview of the latest .NET technologies that is not only great to learn from, but also freely available for you to share and present to your peers. The first course introduced the .NET Framework 3.0, and other courses covered BizTalk and SharePoint. 

 

The newest course is ASP.NET University, a 4 part set that dives into ASP.NET web development.  Learn about the ASP.NET framework, the page and controls structure, and even some advanced topics like caching and HttpModules.  We’ll also look at ASP.NET AJAX and getting the most out of your applications.   We’ll take a lap around the new MVC framework to show you some alternative ways to build applications around the model-view-controller design pattern.   We’ll talk about IIS7 and why it’s great for ASP.NET developers.  And finally, we’ll dive into some of our live services with some content around Virtual Earth, Gadgets, and other services in the cloud you can take advantage of.

 

Here’s a rundown of the day:

1.       ASP.NET Overview:    We’ll talk about the project setup and options, and have a brief discussion about Webforms and the page lifecycle and where user controls, server controls, and master pages fit in.   We’ll also talk about some of the security options available, and we’ll stick our feet in a bit deeper and discuss some of the more advanced topics like custom HttpModules and effective caching strategies.

2.       ASP.NET AJAX:  Learn how to leverage ASP.NET AJAX in your applications.  We’ll look at getting started with some straightforward examples, and we’ll look at troubleshooting and profiling AJAX code to get the best performance possible.  We’ll also look at consuming web services and WCF services straight from AAJX.

3.       ASP.NET MVC:  Looking for more design abstraction?  MVC may be for you.  Based on the model-view-controller design pattern, ASP.NET MVC allows clear and clean abstractions of data, logic, and presentation tiers. 

4.       Servers and services:  First we’ll take a look at what’s new in IIS7 for web developers.  After a brief tour, we’ll check out some cloud-hosted services from live.com – like how to integrate Virtual Earth, use the Live Search API, gadgets, and more.  A fun way to end the day!

Here’s a rundown of the day:

As always, all attendees to .NET University get a personalized .NET U certificate along with a T-shirt, and access to all course materials including slide decks and labs.

Best Practices in SharePoint Component  Deployment

Solution packages are a critical aspect of deployment in SharePoint 2007 and understanding the techniques for creating and distributing them is an absolute requirement for administrators and developers alike. This session examines the different types of components that can be developed for a SharePoint environment and shows the steps involved with building a solution package for best-practice distribution and deployment. You’ll see the proper way to configure SafeControl and Code Access Security (CAS) setting in Web Part deployment as well as hear the benefits and drawback of Assembly deployment in the Global Assembly Cache versus the local bin directory for a particular Web Application. You will also learn best-practice techniques for modifying the web.config file for a Web Application using a Web Application-scoped feature which contains code using the WSS object model that is pushed out into a SharePoint farm using a solution package.
