This course is intended for professional web developers who use Microsoft Visual Studio in an individual-based or team-based, small-sized to large development environment. Candidates for this course are interested in developing advanced web applications and want to manage the rendered HTML comprehensively. They want to create websites that separate the user interface, data access, and application logic. The server-side development will use the C# language, and is an excellent follow-on

course to our Programming in C# course. The client-side development will make use of JavaScript, CSS and HTML5, for which there is also a corresponding introductory course.

1. Experience with Microsoft Visual Studio and .NET.
2. Understand programming in C# and concepts such as lambda expressions, asynchronous programming and LINQ.
3. Some web development experience using HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
4. Understanding of common data formats such as JSON and XML.
