Microsoft .NET Solution Architectures
This series covers how to break down a case study to expose pertinent facts, create meaningful requirements and specifications for a solution, and develop a .NET solution architecture that is secure and stable. It teaches the development of a solid database model, including normalization, relationships, and Object Role Modeling (ORM). It also covers the tradeoffs between a Windows application, a Web application, and a Web Service-based application.
This series is for anyone who wants an introduction to Microsoft .NET solution architectures. This online course contains 6 lessons and 1 practice exams and should take approximately 16 hours to complete.
Envisioning the Solution and Analyzing Business Requirements
This course explains how to complete the Envisioning Phase of application development using Microsoft NET solution architectures It also covers the beginning of the requirements-gathering stage, including assessing the current business state and determining business requirements and teaches you how to establish a proposed solution, assess the solution's feasibility, assess the need for change, identify and manage risks, gather information about the current business state, and analyze business requirements for the solution.
Analyzing User, Operational, and Infrastructure Requirements
This course explains how to both gather and analyze user, operational, and infrastructure requirements in creating Microsoft NET solution architectures and teaches you how to develop use cases, use case diagrams, and usage scenarios, assess both globalization and localization requirements, analyze performance, availability, security, and scalability operational requirements, evaluate maintainability, deployability, and extensibility requirements, incorporate accessibility features into requirements, and determine the impact of operational requirements on current infrastructure.
Developing Specifications and Creating the Conceptual Design
This course explains how to develop specifications and create a conceptual design using Microsoft NET solution architectures and teaches you how to create development and security strategies, describe concept modeling, develop a conceptual model using Object Role Modeling (ORM), apply uniqueness and mandatory role constraints to a conceptual model, develop data rules and ring constraints for a conceptual model, and list the advantages of and techniques for using ORM in a database environment.
Creating the Logical Design
This course explains how to create and validate the logical design of a solution using Microsoft NET solution architectures and teaches you how to design auditing, logging, and exception handling into an application, list considerations for creating a secure accessible multinational user interface, explain the function of the Data Access, Business Logic, and User Services layers, differentiate synchronous and asynchronous calls, validate a logical design based on operational business requirements and usage scenarios, and create a Proof-of-Concept deliverable.
Creating the Logical Data Model and Physical Design
This course explains how to create the logical data model and physical design of a solution using Microsoft NET solution architectures and teaches you how to list key data modeling and logical data design concepts, define tables and columns, normalize tables, define relationships, create an XML schema, and outline physical design specifications for each aspect of an enterprise solution.
Deploying the Application and Creating Standards
This course explains how to deploy, maintain, model, and validate a solution's physical design using Microsoft NET solution architectures This course also covers how to create both team standards and processes, as well as measure quality and teaches you how to create the physical deployment design, develop the physical design for maintenance, create the physical design for the data model, validate the physical design, establish team standards and processes, and measure quality using control metrics, performance metrics, and ROI.
Practice Exam
This course provides practice exam questions for the MCP/MCSD 70-300 exam.
