Course
specification
Course number: ASP00-201
Course length: 2 days
Course
description
Overview: Active Server Pages Advanced introduces advanced
concepts and techniques of ASP programming while building basic ASP
applications. It assumes a knowledge of the basics of the ASP, ADO, and
Scripting Objects object models–all of which were covered in Active Server
Pages Introduction. Learning to leverage that knowledge to build actual ASP
applications is no easy task, but upon completing this course you should feel
comfortable building interesting applications. While working on the various
projects of the course you'll be introduced to new aspects of the object
models, additional scripting techniques, and numerous performance issues.
Prerequisites: Active Server Pages Introduction or have 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. While learning new concepts of ASP and
ADO scripting, students will build simple applications.
Target student: Students should have some familiarity with the ASP, ADO,
and Scripting Objects object models used in ASP programming. They should be
comfortable with Web scripting in general, though VBScript being the primary
language of this course and its syntax is easy to learn. A solid background in
HTML and some knowledge of CSS and SQL are also required. The experienced
Visual Basic programmer may find this course a little slow, though they will
still benefit from it.
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:
* Use the FileSystemObject and TextStream
objects along with the Server.MapPath method to construct a guestbook and a
simple chat application.
* Use
CSS with ASP to offer visitors the ability to create dynamic stylesheets.
* Create
a database-driven Web poll and learn how to test your ASP scripts for speed and
performance.
* Use the ADO Shape command and hierarchical
recordsets to create a simple Quiz, and use the Session object to grade the
results.
* Use Sub procedures to build a discussion
board application, and then add a recursive procedure to display message
threading.
* Use VBScript date/time functions, custom
Function procedures, and the Recordset object's Filter and Bookmark properties
to create a database-driven event calendar.
* Decide amongst the many options for
maintaining user state and how a database can be used in an ASP shopping cart
application.
* Display products by category or keyword
searches, using GetRows, GetString, Buffer, Flush, sClientConnected, and other
techniques to improve lengthy results.
* Build
a shopping cart display script, using a database to track the user's contents.
* Display the final order, create an order
invoice for customers to print, and consider the many additional features you
might want to add to this course's simple shopping cart.
* Create a database-driven advertisement
rotation and tracking system and add an affiliate-program to your shopping
cart.
