8. Current Software Development Characteristics  Rapid Application Development  Enterprise Application Integration (EAI)  Role Partition  Intelligent Software  Self recovery  Adaptive to changes  Self Diagnosis

9. Current Web App. Environment Two Main Players Microsoft vs. the rest of the world.Net vs. J2EE

10. Current Web App. Environment.NET vs. Java HTML JavaScript Browser ASP.Net IIS JSP/Servlets WebSphere VS.NET COM+ EJB ADO.NET JDBC Relational Database System DesktopWeb ServerApp ServerDB Server WebService SOAP.NET Windows Client Wireless Device

11. Most Promising Technologies XML and SOAP/Web Service

12. Technical Skill Set for Software Developer 1.Generic programming knowledge – knowledge about programming in general like, C/C++, Java, algorithm, TCP/IP. 2.Domain Knowledge – knowledge about a particular industry or business like Insurance, Finance. 3.IT Environment Knowledge – knowledge about development environment, tools, and application environment like IIS, VB.NET, COM/COM+, Visual Basic, SQL Server, EJB, JSP, WebSphere.

13. Current Trend – Three kinds of Developers System Developer Component Developer Business Application Developer

14. Traditional Computer Science Class  Generic programming, you do everything by yourself, can not use existing widely used components and libraries. (Can only be System developer)  Primitive technology and skills. Have no touch on the hottest technology and toolset.  Good for learning basis, not good enough for actual work.

15. Two Types of Knowledge 1.Practical and widely used knowledge. 20% of knowledge covers 80 % of works. 2.Interview required knowledge. Concept related knowledge. Not very usefully, but require strong understanding of details. Hard to gain.

16. Main Goals of this Course 1.Teach you the hottest skills needed in today and tomorrow’s job market! Prepare you to become a successful application developer. 2.Familiar with the.NET programming environment that you will be working in. 3.Make sure you know WHAT, HOW, and WHY about those technologies. We emphasize more on the concept or theory (WHY). You can not remember it unless you understand it. 4.Give you the confidence you need for your job interview.

17. How do I deliver the content 1.Start with concept. 2.Use examples to illustrate it. 3.Student practice in the class. (Hand-on Experience) 4.Explain Why, Help you to understand and to remember. 5.Summarize what is covered in each topic. 6.More samples for you to take home and review. 7.E-mail questions to me directly. NetClass@Hotmail.com 8.Show Best Practice

18. .NET Framework, Language & Tools Operating System Common Language Runtime System Classes ADO.NET and XML ASP.NET Web Forms Web Services Mobile Internet Toolkit Windows Forms Common Language Specification VBC++C#JScriptJ# Visual Studio.NET

19. What is covered in the course HTML JavaScript Browser ASP.Net IIS VS.NET COM+ ADO.NET SQL and SQL Server Desktop Web Server App ServerDB Server WebService SOAP.NET Windows Client Wireless Device XML Related Technology.NET Framework

20. What is covered in this course 1.HTML, Cascading Style Sheet, DHTML (3h) 2.JavaScript (6h) 3..Net Framework (3h) 4.Visual Basic.NET Fundamentals (12-15h) 5.Visual Basic.NET Advanced Topics (12-15h) 6.XML/DOM/SAX/Schema/XSLT/XPath (9h) 7.ADO.NET, SQL 7.0, Stored Procedure (9h)

21. What is covered in this course 8.IIS and COM+ (1-2h) 9.ASP.NET (12-15h) 10.Real world web application design issues (3h) 11.SOAP and Web Service (6h) 12.Thread, Integration, and Deployment (3) 13.Software Design (OOP, Design Pattern) (3h) 14.Project (Putting everything together) (9-12h)

22. Best way to learn from this class Have a question before coming to the class. Actively participate in the class. –Ask questions –Participate in discussion Review the slide after each class, and try to digest each concept. Do practice at home. email questions to me.

23. Book and References.NET is too big for a single book Two books are needed I will find a good VB.NET book later “Professional ASP.NET 1.0” ISBN 1- 61007-16-7 Best reference is from Internet MSDN.Microsoft.com www.google.com Books are just for reference, I am not going to follow the book.

24. Prepare for the future  Take this class to gain knowledge.  Do the project to put things together and experience the whole software development life cycle.  Remember the details and whys for Interview.  NEVER STOP LEARNING.

25. After this Training Solid understanding of.NET framework. Detailed knowledge about VB.NET. Familiar with ASP.NET programming environment. Solid understanding of ADO.NET. Basic understanding of SQL and SQL Server Familiar with XML related technologies. Familiar with Web Service architecture. Understand the essence of software design

26. Best way to learn Practice, practice, and practice. Work smart and work hard.
