Objectives

MVC Web applications offer a clean separation of concerns between the business-logic classes, Web pages, and the controller. Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 4 offers Web developers all the benefits of MVC allied with all the power of the .NET platform. This course provides full coverage of ASP.NET MVC 4, including Test Driven Development and JQuery.

After completing this course, delegates will be able to

• Understand the Role of the Model, View, and Controller Design Pattern
• Create Industrial-Strength Applications
• Apply Test Driven Development Methods
• Implementing Navigation Between Pages
• Implement Rich User Interfaces with JQuery and Ajax

Audience

ASP.NET developers who want to use the MVC architecture.

Objectives

This C# course will enable delegates to develop applications in the C# programming language. Delegates will be able to program using the principles of object orientation. The course will also cover how to use the Visual Studio development environment to produce robust and maintainable applications.

Audience

This course is intended for the following types of software developers:

• New developers
• Developers who understand computer programming but may have learned programming by using a non-graphical language in a university

These developers want to build solutions by using C#; within the Microsoft .NET Framework. They also want to employ Object Orientated techniques to enhance their development skills.

In this instructor-led, live training in Finland, we introduce the architecture, components and processes behind application virtualization and walk participants step-by-step through the deployment of App-V and App-V applications in a live lab environment. By the end of the course, participants will have knowledge and hands-on practice needed to install, configure, administer, and troubleshoot App-V as well as create, package and deploy their own App-V applications.

Delegates will be introduced to the .Net framework and will learn to develop web applications using C# 4.0. At course completion delegates should be familiar with the framework, experienced in developing basic web application and conversant with database access using LINQ. Applications will be created using Object Orientated programming.

After completing this course, delegates will be able to:

• Use Visual Studio 2010 effectively
• Learn C# 4.0
• Create commercial ASP.NET Web Applications
• Understand OO Programming, Classes, and Objects
• Debug Applications
• Develop user interfaces using Master Pages, Site Navigation and Themes
• Use ADO.Net and LINQ to read from and write to databases
• Develop rich internet applications using ASP.NET AJAX
• Create and call WCF services

Objectives

Over the last few years there has been a steady move towards Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectures for Web applications. MVC Web applications offer a clean separation of concerns between the business-logic classes, Web pages, and the controller. Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 4.5 offers Web developers all the benefits of MVC allied with all the power of the .NET platform. This course provides full coverage of ASP.NET MVC 4.5.

After completing this course, delegates will be able to:

• Understand the Role of the Model, View, and Controller Design Pattern
• Create Industrial-Strength Applications
• Apply Test Driven Development Methods
• Implementing Navigation Between Pages
• Implement Rich User Interfaces with JQuery and Ajax

Audience

ASP.NET developers who want to use the MVC architecture.

This instructor-led, live training in Finland is designed for anyone interested in learning C# for the purpose of automation testing. It is a streamlined, intensive course with plenty of hands-on exercises to get participants ramped up quickly with the essential programming skills needed to apply in software automation testing. The focus is on the C# fundamentals which can be directly and immediately applied to test automation.

This course does not cover in depth test automation frameworks such as Selenium. If you are already versed in C# and wish to get straight into testing with Selenium, please check out: Selenium WebDriver in C#: Introduction to web testing automation in C#.

This course is divided into 3 main sections and is made up of a mixture of presentations and practical exercises.

1. VB.NET Language in Visual Studio 2012
2. VB.NET Object Orientation
3. VB.NET and Sql Server 2012

Teaches attendees the fundamentals of administering IIS 7 and applications on the .NET platform.

The course is a mixture of lectures and hands-on exercises. Delegates learn by doing, with immediate opportunities to apply the material they learn to real-world problems.

Teaches attendees the fundamentals of administering IIS 8 and applications on the .NET platform.
The course is a mixture of lectures and hands-on exercises. Delegates learn by doing, with immediate opportunities to apply the material they learn to real-world problems.

When developers finish writing a piece of code, they often integrate their code into an application, copy the application into a folder, run the application installer, then initialize the application to check whether it runs as expected. This manual approach does not scale very well, is tedious, very error-prone and offers no mechanism for tracking changes during the process.

A better approach would be to automate the process using Continuous Integration. Continuous Integration refers to the processes, tools and infrastructure needed to automate the building, deployment and testing of software applications.

In this instructor-led, live training (onsite or remote), participants will learn how to transform a traditional, manual (or semi-manual) approach to software deployment into an agile, Continuous Integration (CI) one using Jenkins. Participants carry out a series of hands-on, live-lab exercises throughout the course, applying their new knowledge to various software development and deployment problems every step of the way. Interaction among the instructor and participants is encouraged. Real-world cases are discussed and specific issues and questions are addressed and resolved throughout the training. The training is especially focused on .Net application development.
 
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Jenkins for .Net application development
• Use Jenkins to automate the process of checking in and merging .Net source code into a code repository
• Use Jenkins to automate the process of downloading, compiling and deploying an application to a release server
• Integrate Jenkins with other software development tools such as issue trackers and

Audience

Microservice architecture is an approach to developing a software application as a suite of small, independent services, each running in its own process and communicating with lightweight mechanisms such as an HTTP resource API. These services can be efficiently deployed using continuous automation systems and bypass the need for centralized management. Microservices can be written in different programming languages and integrate with different data storage systems.

This instructor-led, live training is aimed at enterprise developers and architects. It introduces microservice architecture from a .Net perspective, presents migration strategies from a monolithic system, and walks participants through the creation and deployment of a sample microservice-based application.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand when to use and when not to use microservice architecture
• Create and implement a testing strategy for microservices
• Deploy a sample microservice-based application into a production environment
• Refactor a monolithic application into services

Audience

• Developers
• Architects

Format of the course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice
