Definition of Web Programming on Windows
14
Why are you here?

• You need to graduate with the skills needed to
  create applications that run on Microsoft Windows
  web servers
• Web Programming on Windows will introduce you
  to the latest technologies for developing and
  deploying Windows-based web applications

15
Our mission and philosophy

• This is an ASP.NET application development course
  using the C .NET language
• When you successfully complete this course, you
  will be able to create an ASP.NET application in
  a real-life employment situation
• Build and deploy an application
• Use external data / database sources
• Understand the Windows / IIS / ASP.NET platform

16
Our mission and philosophy

• This is a project-driven course many of the
  topics covered in the course will be applied when
  you code your project
• You will be exposed to and expected to absorb and
  apply large quantities of new information

17
Windows operating systems concepts
18
Required Windows OS skills

• Everyone here has passed WIN133
• In that course, you were expected to learn these
  skills
• File (data storage) management
• Understanding and using networked and internet
  resources
• Using the graphical user interface efficiently
  and effectively (including keyboard shortcuts)
• Understanding and applying security concepts
• Software installation, setup, and configuration
• The ability to quickly learn a new application

19
You will learn these new concepts

• To succeed in this course, you must learn these
  new concepts and skills
• IIS - the Windows internet server
• Windows security
• Authentication, credentials, authorization,
  impersonation, security context, relationships
  between IIS and NTFS permissions
• Others as assigned / required
• You should also build on and improve the skills
  you already know, particularly user skills

20
What is ASP.NET?
21
What is ASP.NET?

• ASP.NET is Microsofts development and
  server-side application execution environment for
  web browser clients
• ASP.NET relies on
• IIS, and
• The .NET Framework
• ASP.NET applications are applications written in
  a .NET language, like C and Visual Basic.NET
• They are then compiled and executed on a server
  a web browser is the user interface

22
What is the .NET Framework and why is it so
important to us
23
What is the .NET Framework?

• A set of managed code technologies that allow you
  to develop and run .NET applications
• Its automatically installed as part of the
  Visual Studio .NET setup procedure
• Its already installed on the hermes server
• What's inside?
• Base class library more than 6,500 class
  modules
• ASP.NET add-on technologies for IIS
• Command-line compilers
• Documentation

24
Why is it important?

• Its classes can be used in any .NET language
• Currently, there are about 25 supported languages
  
• The functionality offered in the base class
  library is amazing theres a class for almost
  everything you want to do
• Technologically, it is superior to past Microsoft
  development and execution models, and matches or
  improves upon competitive models
• There are only two viable managed code
  development environments - .NET and J2EE

25
What is Visual Studio .NET and how to use it
26
What is Visual Studio .NET?

• Visual Studio .NET is an application development
  environment
• When you want to create a .NET application, you
  will use Visual Studio .NET
• Note Visual Studio .NET is often referred to as
  Visual Studio or VS
• Visual Studio offers
• Graphical designer Code editor
• Compiler Debugger
• Integrated documentation Code generation

27
What apps can you create with VS?

• VS lets you create any of these types of
  applications
• Windows Forms apps
• Console (character-mode) apps
• ASP.NET web apps
• Windows Services (background apps for Windows)
• Web Services (web apps without a user interface)
• Class library (also known as a DLL)

28
How do I get started with VS?

• Learn the interface
• Learn the important keyboard shortcuts
• Practice often

29
The C .NET programming language
30
Why Visual C .NET?

• We chose to offer this INT422 course using C as
  the programming language
• Other .NET lanuages, like Visual Basic .NET,
  differ mainly in grammatical syntax
• C is a modern object-oriented language
• Do you have problems understanding OO?
• You will have problems with this course
• If you know other C-based languages, youll
  pick up C very quickly

31
Summary

• Work hard, learn lots
• Have fun in INT422!
