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.

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.

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.
