Welcome to NED.net User Group

I'd like to suggest following topics for seminars:

1. ASP.NET using C#
the seminar should be aimed at proving that C# works for web technologies and should give a very simple and straight-forward method for designing and implementing something useful on the web. The details should also tell how the students can get started with free ASP.NET hosting... exactly what they need to do to get their dynamic websites up! NED students are brilliant and the idea is that you just expose them to the wonders and they'll take it to next level themselves. The target should be that 80% of the attendees should try it out and get their website up.

2. Windows Application designing using C#
In our OOP course, we've been taught about console development only. We need a basic lecture on Windows Form desinging and tools that available. Most students would not know how easy it is to make good and working Windows applications. Sure they've done some VB... but if they can see that they can do everything in C# that they could do in VB, they'll have more interest towards learning the language (don't forget .NET have had great publicity, so people know its BIG!). I think the seminar should demonstrate the design of a simple real-life application and demonstrate ListView/TreeView/Toolbars/CommonDialog and other basic things.

3. ADO.NET using C#
This should begin with introductory SQL as most of the students from CIS SE/FE are unaware of SQL. The lecture should have two demos, one which demonstrate the backend connections for Windows Applications and one for the web. Care must be taken to make it as simple as possible.

We have ASP programming in our curriculum this year. I think relevant people should be persuaded to upgrade ASP course into ASP.NET using C#. There is no point in learning a deprecated technology.

I'm available for any help you might need. I can help prepare lecture slides and maybe do one or two small lectures too, if possible.
