Audience:
This Workshop is relevant for
Faculty, Researchers, and Graduate Students who are currently using, or
interested in using, any of the .NET technologies in research and curriculum.
Description:
The .NET platform is Microsoft's
most significant platform shift since the move from DOS to Windows NT.
The .NET platform consists of two equally important technologies: the Common
Language Runtime and Web Services. The Common Language Runtime provides
a secure, type-oriented runtime environment for components written in any
language. Web Services support building Internet-friendly applications
and services using open Internet standards such as XML, HTTP, and SOAP.
The Essential .NET workshop
provides deep technical coverage of the atoms of the .NET platform, focusing
on how the various technologies fit together as well as looking at how
various aspects of the platform advance the field of component software
and distributed application development.
This 2-day workshop is intended
to provide the introductory fundamental skills to utilize the .NET Framework
for web services development and projects. Faculty will have the
foundation to explore the use of .NET for academic projects. The
first day of the workshop is devoted to lecture presentation. The
second day of the workshop provides options for hands-on laboratory exploration
of .NET and consultation with the subject-matter-expert instructor on specific
project questions.
Workshop Topics:
-
Platform Evolution - why .NET?
-
The Common Language Runtime - Architecture, Advantages, and Interop
-
The CLR Type System and C#
-
ASP.NET as a better application server
-
XML, Data and .NET
