 In this course you learn how to build a calculator that can be used on the Internet. Then you explore the world of ASP.NET in more detail by looking at controls of various types, controlling page layout, connecting to databases, using validation controls, and using JQuery together with C#, and ASP.NET. There is now also a section that deals with Razor, the syntax used in MVC. This is a simplified approach to programming that will have you working with databases and tables quickly. This is a good alternative for those who find regular ASP.NET a little too overwhelming at first. Let's begin.  

                                                                                           1) This is the only udemy course with more than 35 quiz questions so you can feel confident you're truly learning. 

                                                                                           2) This course uses Visual Studio, a powerful, 100% free programming environment widely used in industry. 

                                                                                           3) This course teaches the basics of C#, Asp. 

                                                                                           4) This course also gives you an introduction to objected oriented programming 

                                                                                        5) This course also gives an intro to SQL Server and data connected web pages.

                                                                                           Once you watch the videos, and complete the quizzes, you'll have a solid  understanding of some of the most important aspects of making C#, ASP. These are skills you can put on your resume.

Syllabus

After participating in this course, you'll be able to build a calculator and place it on the web. During this process, you'll become familiar with the technologies required to build this calculator. Above all else, this course is designed to teach you how to fit the pieces of the puzzle together. This is a separate, but very real skill. In other words, just knowing CSS, or just HTML can take you only so far. In this course, you learn how to fit these technologies together and produce something useful. If you like, you can also join the much more complete course devoted only to C#.
