Class Notes (2005-12-16) : 2310B ASP.NET Training
This week at Interface I taught the Microsoft 2310B ASP.NET class. The content was delivered without a single slide, and in most cases, the courseware wasn't referenced. Most of the delivery was from code samples. Although the class turned out well, I did not have the euphoria I reached when I taught the C# class last week. In the C# class, I had students inherit from a "Warrior" base class and override virtual | abstract methods to define warrior specific behaviors. I then collected all the "Warrior" sub-types, and placed them in an Arena (Windows app) to see which warrior would win. In the first tournament, Bruce the Chinese Cook took the championship. After introducing delegates and events, everyone made adjustments to his class, and we had a final tournament. The final winner was Red Bear the Cheyenn warrior. Other warrior types worthy of mention are: SuperBannana, Mace the Jedi, MonkeyAbuser, StickyFigure, TrashTalker, Ronin, and Crazy Female Driver. At the end of it all, each student's grasp of polymorphic behavior was the best I have ever seen. Great class.
