VB.Net and C# Comparison

This following link is really interesting because it shows the differences of VB.NET and C# on coding.

VB.NET and C#

Programming ASP.NET web pages

Tips on Programming.

• Always remember to give meaningful names to your  variables. For simple loop counters you can use ¨i¨, but for loopcount probably describes the purpose of the variable better.
• Don't be afraid to mess anything up. Keep working until the code does what you want to do it. The best way to learn something is by actually doing it.
• When writing functions and subroutines try to minimize the number of lines of code.
• When writing comments in your code. describe the general purpose of the code instead of explaining obvious statements.

 Some definitions:

• Class: A blueprint for objects in a programming language.
• Collection: Data type that is capable of holding multiple objects at the same time.
• Encapsulation: Hiding the inner working and data of a class to the outside world in order to protect data.
• instantiating: Process of creating a new object based on a type.
• Method: like brake for a car.
• Namespace: a way to structure a class and other types in a hierchical manner.
• Object Orientation: Popular style of programming where the software is modeled as set of objects.
• Overriding: Redifining the behavior in a child class.
• Property: Characteristic of an object.

Working with ASP.NET Server Controls

One of the biggest invention of ASP.NEt is the state engine that enables controls to maintain their state across postbacks. It is a real time saver however you must turn View State Off when possible because enables it means a performance hit.

Some tips of working with Controls.

• Try to spend time trying out different controls in the standard category.
• Consider turning off view state for controls that do not need it.
• Before you design a complex web form with multiple controls to accept user input, step back from your computer and take a piece of paper and a pen to draw out the requiered functionality.

Keep trying.

Cascading Style Sheet - CSS

This lesson was so exited and sometimes little boring. It was about the use of CSS to stuly the pages.

Since the beginning we create a CSS file with some properties to customize the page for example links visited and etc. 

Also we see how to manage inline CSS styles and the benefics of using an external Style over embedded sheets. The biggest benefic of an internal style sheet is the fact that it can be applied to the entire site.

Also we went thru many tools that VWD has to manage Style sheets.

Next Chapter is about Working with ASP.NET Server Controls.

We'll see what happen!

ASP.NET 4 - Code behind and Code Inline

When you create a file in VWD(Visual Web Developer) you also can select the way you will see the code in every file. There are two ways of look at the code and you have to define it when you create the file:

• Code Behind: This is a page model where server side code is stored in a separate code file.
• Inline Code: A page model where server side code is stored in the same file as the markup.

Be careful with your selection I prefer the Code Behind option, it is less confusing.

My first impression of ASP.NET 4 in C# and VB

Hi All,

As soon as I am going thru this book I am finding a Awesome world of designing, this is because after some time without look at programming and specially when I used the last version 3.0 of C# and now the version 4 is amazing. At this time I am learning how to create a web site from a blank template, step - by - step. I am really exited about this book, sometimes I am want to jump in a higher page but I can not because all this book is a project and if I do not read some pages I will lost my way. This book is strongly recomended if you want to start to learn this platform, I hope in some days I will be available to get a new job position in designing. For now I will do my best on it. Talk you later!
