Syllabus

Advanced Web Development (MS 303)

Getting Started with Active Server Pages :- What are Active Server Pages ? (Understanding

the Client Server Model, How ASP differs from Client-Side Scripting Technologies); Running

ASP Pages (Setting Up Personal Web Server, Setting Up Internet Information Server, Using ASP

without IIS or PWS); Creating You First ASP Pages.

Dissecting You First ASP Script :- Understanding ASP Scripts (What Does Response.Write

Do ?, The <%=Shortcut, What’s with the <%@ LANGUAGE=VBSCRIPT%>?, Writing ASP Code

Without Using <%…%>, Comments, Line Continuation Character); What You ASP Script

Returned to the Browser; The ASP Process.

Working with Variables :- What is a Variable?; Data Types; Integer; Floating-Point Numbers

(String, Date, Boolean, Currency, Object, What Are Variant Variables?. What Does It Mean to

Declare a Variable?, Why Use Explicit Declarations in VBScript?, How Do You Name a

Variable?, Constants, Arrays, How Do You Determine Your Variable’s Type?); VB Script

Operators (Assignment Operators, Mathematical Operators, Subtraction, Multiplication , Division,

Integer Division, Modulus, Exponentiation, Negation Concatenation, Comparison Operators,

Logical Operators).

Understanding VBScript Control Structures :- What Is a Control Structures; Types of Controls

(Conditional Logic, Looping Logic, Branching Logic); Control Structure Examples (Conditional

Logic Controls, Looping Logic Controls, Branching Logic Controls).

Using VBScript’s Built-In Functions :- Typecasting Variables (What is Typecasting and Why

Should I Typecast?, How to Typecast Your Variables); Formatting Functions; Math Functions;

Date Functions (Working with Date Values, Breaking Down Date Values); String Functions; Other

Functions.

Working with Objects :- What are objects?; The Building Blocks of Objects (Properties,

Methods, Instances of Objects); Built-in ASP Objects (Response Objects, Request Object,

Application Object, Session Object, Server Object, ObjectContext Object, ASPError Object);

Collections; Working with Objects; Events.

Using the Response Object :- What is the Response Object; Dissecting the Response Object

(Sending HTML to the Browser, Buffering ASP Pages, Sending the User to Another Page,

Cookies, Caching Your ASP Pages).

Communicating with the User :- Receiving Information from the User (What are Forms?,

Creating Forms, Designing Forms, Submitting Forms, Reading Form Values from an ASP Page);

Using Advanced Form Techniques (Revisiting the ACTION Property, Client-Side Form

Validation); Using the Different Form Fields (Text Boxes, List Boxes, Check Boxes, Radio

Buttons, Choosing your Checkboxes and Radio Buttons).

Collecting the Form Information :- Retrieving the Results of a Form (Using the Request

Object); Using the Querystring to Send Information,

Working with the Request Object :- Accessing the HTTP Headers (Useful HTTP Headers,

Reading the HTTP Headers with Request. ServerVariables); Accessing the Environment

Variables (Useful Environment Variables, Reading the Environment Variables Using Request.

ServerVariables); Using Cookies (What are Cookies?, How to Read Cookies Using the Request
