Course description
Overview: Students will learn the benefits of using ASP technology to create dynamic, data-driven Web sites. The course introduces the ASP Object Model, several built-in ASP Components, Scripting Objects, and the ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) Model.

Prerequisites: HTML Programming Levels 1 & 2, Programming Introduction, JavaScript (Level 1) or VBScript (Level 1), SQL Fundamentals of Querying; or equivalent knowledge.

Delivery method: Instructor-led, group-paced, classroom-delivery learning model with structured hands-on activities.

Benefits: Students will learn how to create dynamic, database-driven Web sites. Hands-on tasks follow programming concepts, so that students can immediately implement what they learn.

Target student: Students needing to transform their static HTML-only Web site into a dynamic, data-driven Web site that accesses databases, uses COM components, dynamically serves information from a variety of sources, and much more.

What's next: Active Server Pages: Level 2, the second course in this series, uses the concepts and techniques students learned in Activer Server Pages: Level 1 to create a diverse set of Web applications. Along the way students will learn advanced concepts and techniques in Active Server Page programming.

Active Server Pages: Level 1

Performance-based objectives
Lesson objectives help students become comfortable with the course, and also provide a means to evaluate learning. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

  • Describe what ASP is, what platforms and applications support it, and the
    role of scripting languages, objects, and components in ASP programming.
  • Use Server-side Includes to improve Web programming efficiency through modularization.
  • Describe the role of the ASP Response object and use its Write, Redirect,
    and output control properties and methods.
  • Describe the role of the ASP Request object and use its Form, QueryString,
    and ServerVariables collections to obtain user-supplied information and environment
    details.
  • Determine the value of cookies in maintaining user state and use the Cookie
    collections of the Request and Response objects.
  • Describe what ASP components are and use the Server object to instantiate
    ASP components.
  • Use the Ad Rotator, Browser Capabilities, and Content Linking components.
  • Describe the difference between ASP applications and sessions and use the
    Global.asa file to launch application and session events.
  • Describe what Scripting Objects are and use the Dictionary, FileSystemObject,
    and TextStream objects to further enable your ASP Web sites.
  • Describe the relationship between ASP and ADO and create a database connection
    from a Web site.
  • Use the Recordset object to display database records, create on-the-fly combo boxes
    and option groups, and filter records based on user input.
  • Add, update, and delete records in a database using both ADO and SQL query
    methods.
  • Use stored procedures and parameter queries to improve database access on
    the Web.
  • Create a data browser that allows forward and backward recordset browsing
    and a paged recordset display system.
