The book moves more into SQL Server and Web and we did this through web matrix so we are all set.

you read and understood. Catch up week! Check back about final! | |
| Week #13 Week of November 24th |
Chapter #6 has some very intense things. Read it carefully. Assignments: What I want you to do is pick a problem/problems similar to the ones done in the tutorials. I want you to go through the tutorials and essentially do what they do. So you should do something very similar but different topic and different info so you have to think as you replicate! Go through each of the tutorials in chapter #6. Pick two of them to make similiar models of to pass in. |
|
| Week #12 Week of November 17th |
This is starting to move into databases more - we should talk about what you feel you need to work on. Assignments: Not hearing, I have decided that you should read the two chapters on databases chapters 4 and 5 and pick something that you feel you need to learn more about or something you are interested in pursuing. You can involve Web Matric or not as you decide. |

| Week #11 Week of November 10th |
In addition to reading the part of chapter #3 that deals with LINQ, I would like you to also look at some Microsoft
information on this: LINQ I want you to also look at console applications in VB. There are some good tutorials and videos on youtube that you might look at. Some other sources to look at: LINQ query LINQ connect Assignments: First lets look at console applications. Look at the very basic program that I did called ConsoleApp2. I want you to write a program experimenting with setting things like color and size, if statements, looping etc. Go beyond what I did! Please run through these tutorials and create your own program that creates the output that they create: LINQ example 2008 LINQ example 2010 |

| Week #10 Week of November 3rd |
This week I want you to read chapter #3 in the text. We will stay there for a while. Please look at the
examples under Programs (2010). Under my programs for 2010 there is a program called
EmpArrayList, please spend time making sure you follow what is going on. Assignments: I want you to write a program dealing with inventory (or another topic you choose) that processes in very similar ways to EmpArrayList. In other words, I want to make sure you understand how this program works and can create your own version. |

| Week #9 Week of October 27th |
This unit is chapter #2 in the book. Please read it and spend time looking at the tutorials. They cover a variety
of concepts very well. I have put two programs that deal with validation out on the web. Assignments: I would like you to do a program that deals with validation and user interface. You can do something for the desktop or for the web. Your choice. |

| Week #8 Week of October 20th |
There is a lot of support information (notes, slides, examples) for the textbook on line:
Support for Advanced Visual Basic 2010 text I have also put up a few examples. Note in one of my examples I should have handled the message differently in true OOP style. Note on EmpClassRev2010 In the online support, the notes actually go through and give a lot of information about writing two of the problems from the first chapter so you really might find them helpful. There are also a lot of examples that show how to do different things you might want to do. If you want to access one of several solutions listed you can right click on the project and click Set as startup project. Assignments: Using the programs posted under Programs 2010, send me the answers to this quiz: Quiz #1 Pick one of the coding challenges at the back of chapter #1 (other than problem #1), and write the program. Remember to check resources and look at the notes on the fourth and the fifth project if you want to do them. |

| Week #7 Week of October 13th |
Please read the last chapter in the introductory book (chapter #12). It covers classes, collections and scrollable controls. Once you have the new book, please read the first chapter. Good starting information from Microsoft. Assignments: I do not know how comfortable you are with object oriented programming from other courses - please let me know. First assignment: Write a program similiar to the one in chapter 12, tutorial 12-1. I want you to do yours on basic payroll. Have a idno, name, pay type code with an S for salaried or an H for hourly, also have a salary field, a pay per hour field and a hours worked field. Calculate hourly with overtime of 1.5 for those working over 40 hours. Use object oriented techniques. Check back! | |
| Week #6 Week of October 6th |
Now I have put some of my pages and the InvenDB1 which has pages and an embedded database up on the server (I used the
Azure server). It gives a free trial. I have also applied for educational access for us but have not received confirmation
yet. I will keep you posted. The notes are under Smartboard. I used existing examples. I have asked for student access to Azure - stay tuned! We are going to move on to other parts of the course but we can come back to this when I get the permissions for Azure. Assignments: So, this week I would like you to get something up on an ASP.NET server as well. I want something without a database, just pages and something with a database. |
|
| Week #5 Week of September 29th |
Now we are going to create a database with SQL Server and use it on web pages with an vbhtml extension. There are examples
and Smartboard explanations up on the web of the Payroll Site and the InvenDB that I did. Take a close look at them. Assignments: Database development in Web Matrix using SQL Server |
|
| Week #4 Week of September 22nd |
Go back and look at the web pages we developed in VB last semester. Programming ASP.NET Web Pages (Razor) Using Visual Studio Assignments: Take several of the aspx programs you wrote and run them in VB Studio Express for Web (I used 2012). Then I want you to take the Kayak program we wrote last semester and try running that in Web Matrix. |
|
| Week #3 Week of September 15th |
Now I want you to look at the ASP.NET (extension ASPX examples). Remember that for each set of problems there is a
Smartboard that goes over some key things. W3Schools tutorial on ASP.NET Another tutorial on ASP.NET And another... Download the examples for all three weeks and look at them in Web Matrix. Assignments: Now we are going to get caught up. I want you to look at my examples and then try similiar things on your own: I am looking for taking in user input, writing conditions and writing loops. To force you to experiment, lets go with 10 for ASP and 10 for ASP.NET (ASPX) and a comment in each explaining what you are trying. What I am looking for here is the ability to get information using ASP and ASPX so please don't just do Hello World or take in something and display it. Try to really get involved! |
|
| Week #2 Week of September 8th |
Now we are going to take a look at ASP (which actually uses VB Script) and then ASPX next. Looking at the next few weeks,
after we have looked at the basics we will move on to Web Development with data etc. Here are some sites with information on ASP: W3Schools tutorial Microsoft ASP tutorial Under ASP and Smartboard (right below last weeks notes) you will see information on classic ASP. That is what I want you to look at this week. Assignments: Be sure you have looked at the ASP examples. I am holding off because installing Web Matrix and getting it work are taking some time. |
|
| Week #1 Week of September 1st |
We are going to start to look at Web Development using Visual Basic ASP/ASPX. We are going to use Web Matrix and its connect
to Azure so you need to download Web Matrix. We will start out working with localhost but eventually we will upload to Azure. Under ASP with VB(2012) you should look at the basic VBHTML examples. They can be run from within Web Matrix. We need to set up a time to meet - I would suggest this week around 2:00ish on Tuesday. Note I added a Smartboard on the vbhtml examples. Help with Web Matrix: ASP.NET web pages Intro ASP.NET using Razor Syntax(Visual Basic) Web Matrix tutorials Using Web Matrix First Website Assignments: Your assignment this week is to experiment with Web Matrix. I want you to use VBHTML for this - when you click on New select the .vbhtml option. I want you to look at my examples and then try similiar things on your own: I am looking for taking in user input, writing conditions and writing loops. To force you to experiment, lets go with 10 examples and a comment in each explaining what you are trying. | |
