Introduction
This three-day ILT course provides students with the knowledge and skills to create ASP.NET 2.0 applications. It will show the advancements from ASP.NET 1.x to ASP.NET 2.0 in creating applications. The course focuses on the new features and functionality of ASP.NET. The course includes sample code in both Microsoft Visual Basic .NET and Microsoft Visual C# .

Learning Product Pilot
This course pilots the use of a Microsoft Press reference book, combined with a comprehensive Hands-On Lab manual, in an instructor led environment. This class includes the book Introducing Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 (ISBN 0-7356-2024-5), written by Dino Esposito, along with a Hands-On Lab manual that covers the practices, labs and demonstrations included in the course. In this format, you receive an instructionally designed course as you would in a traditional Microsoft Official Course with the additional benefit of receiving a Microsoft Press reference book.

Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2
This course uses Visual Studio 2005 beta 2. The book that accompanies this course Introducing Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 is based on the earlier Visual Studio 2005 beta 1 release. The course student workbook provides additional information to update the content in the book from beta 1 to beta 2.
