Workshop Outline
Unit 1: Building Dynamic Web Applications
This unit introduces many different aspects of dynamic Web
applications. It includes discussions on creating and configuring
controls at run time. It then explains how to build dynamic
globalization features into a Web application to ensure that it is
localizable, including using localized resources and applying
different master page layouts in response to culture and language
settings. It concludes with explanations about how to enable dynamic
configuration for site administrators.
• Dynamic Control Creation
• Localization and Globalization
• Dynamic Master Pages

• Dynamically configure Web applications.
Unit 2: Creating Controls for Web Applications
This unit explains how developers create different types of
controls for different scenarios. The different types of controls
include user controls, custom Web server controls, composite Web
server controls, and templated controls.
• User Controls
• Custom Web Server Controls
• Composite Web Server Controls
• Templated Controls
Lab 2: Creating Controls for Web Applications

• Describe templated controls and the interfaces that enable their
implementation.
• Create templated controls.
Unit 3: Optimizing Web Application Performance
This unit introduces topics that will help you improve the
performance of Web applications. It describes how the Page Scripting
Object Model can help reduce the number of round trips for
communication between the server and the browser, and then explains
how tracing and instrumentation can be used to monitor and,
therefore, improve the performance of a Web application. The unit
discusses how caching and asynchronous processing can help increase
Web application performance; it then highlights some considerations
that developers must address if the Web application is to be
deployed in a Web farm environment.
• The Page Scripting Object Model
• Tracing and Instrumentation in Web Applications
• ASP.NET 2.0 Caching Techniques
• Asynchronous Processing in Web Applications
• Web Farm Development Considerations
Lab 3: Optimizing Web Application Performance
• Exercise 1. Accessing the Page Scripting Object Model
• Exercise 2. Implementing ASP.NET Caching Techniques
• Exercise 3. Implementing Tracing and Instrumentation Techniques in
Web Applications
• Exercise 4. Implementing Asynchronous Processing in Web
Applications
After completing this unit, students will be able to:
• Describe the Page Scripting Object Model.
• Access Page Scripting Object Model functionality.
• Explain how to use tracing and instrumentation to monitor and
improve the performance of a Web application.
• Implement tracing and instrumentation in Web applications.
• Describe ASP.NET 2.0 caching techniques.
• Implement ASP.NET 2.0 caching techniques.
• Explain how asynchronous processing can lead to improved
performance for Web applications.
• Implement asynchronous processing in Web applications.
• Describe strategies for dealing with session state management
issues when deploying Web applications in a Web farm environment.
• Develop Web applications for Web farm environments.
Unit 4: Implementing Personalization and Themes in Web
Applications
This unit introduces building customizable functionality into a
Web application by adding personalization support. It discusses
using the personalization features of ASP.NET 2.0 to provide this
functionality. In addition, it discusses applying themes to Web
applications and allowing users to choose color schemes to
personalize their experience in using the Web application. It
concludes by explaining how to include features that enable users to
personalize themes.
• ASP.NET 2.0 Personalization Features
• Theme Support in ASP.NET 2.0

Unit 5: Building Web Part Pages and Web Parts
This unit introduces the concept of a Web part, and describes
how it is used in portal pages and other scenarios. It introduces
the concept of a Web part page, and discusses how a Web part page
contains some Web parts that provide the user interface, along with
other controls that manage the Web part infrastructure.
