Next, it introduces the different types of Web controls that are at the developers’ disposal. It also demonstrates the power of creating custom Web controls. User controls and master pages demonstrate the power of code reuse while the site navigation controls can be used to simplify navigation for the Web users. A thorough explanation of ADO.NET is covered using the latest Web data controls. Students will also learn about the ASP.NET provider model introduced with .NET 2.0 and newer. Web Parts are also extensively covered for use on ASP.NET and SharePoint Web sites. Today’s Web security risks are explained and AJAX is covered to offer a Web 2.0 user experience.
