Introduction to ASP.NET Yingcai Xiao
Get the BIG picture before programming • “Why?” then “How?” • Principles and practices: know the concepts and know how to design and implement an application. • In the industry: design then coding Approach
From the Webster’s New World Dictionary: 1. A person who computes. 2. A device used for computing (an electronic machine which by means of stored instructions and information, perform rapid, often complex calculations or compiles, correlates, and selects data). What is a Computer?
Programs: stored computer instructions for data processing. Programming = Data Structures + Algorithms Professor Donald E. Knuth What is a program and what is programming?
(1) Stand Alone: MS PowerPoint (2) Web/Internet-based: (a) Client-side: client-side JavaScript (b) Server Side: ASP.NET, JSP, Web Services 3-Tir Enterprise Applications (c) Both-sides: Apps (3) Cloud: Applications on the Cloud. Everything is on the Internet and the Internet is “a’ huge computer. Why? Code Reuse! What Types of Programs?
Source Code for Language 1 Source Code for Language 1 Language 1 Compiler on OS1 Language 1 Compiler on OS2 Binary Code for OS1 Binary Code for OS2 OS1 OS2 • Traditional Compilation/Linking (C/C++)
Java Intermediate Language: Java Bytecode Java Source Code (.java) Java Compiler (javac) on OS1 Java Compiler (javac) on OS2 Java Bytecode (.class) Java Interpreter on OS1 (java) Program statements are interpreted one at a time during the run-time. Java Interpreter on OS2 (java) Binary Code for OS1 Binary Code for OS2 OS1 OS2
An interpreter interprets intermediate code one line at a time. Slow execution. • A JIT (Just-In-Time) Compiler compiles the complete code all at once just into native binary code before execution. Faster execution. JIT Compiler
JIT Complier: Java Bytecode Compiler Java Source Code (.java) Java Compiler (javac) on OS1 Java Compiler (javac) on OS2 Java Bytecode (.class) Java JIT Compiler on OS1 All programming statements are compiled at compile time. Java JIT Compiler on OS2 Binary Code for OS1 Binary Code for OS2 OS1 OS2
The trend to support OS-independent binary code is to compile the source code into the binary format of an intermediate language. • And to provide an interpreter for the intermediate language on each OS to translate the binary code of the intermediate language into the native binary code of the OS. OS-Independent Code: Intermediate Languages

C#: (0) C^+^2n; n = 0, 1, 2, => C, C++, C# (1) The most advanced programming language to date (3) OOP (Object-oriented Programming) (4) EDP (Event Driven Programming) (5) Dynamic type generation (6) Platform-independent?: Code runs on any platform with .NET runtime (7) Visual Studio The Programming Language for .NET: C#
To make .NET language independent, CLR (Common Language Runtime) is defined as the runtime environment. • CLR defines CTS (Common Type System) which should be followed by all languages to be used in the .NET framework. • Syntax: int, for, .. • Semantics: multiple inheritance is not allowed in CTS • The code that follows CTS standard is called managed code. • regular C++ supports multiple inheritance • managed C++ does not support multiple inheritance .NET Common Language Runtime

CLI (Common Language Infrastructure) CLR/CTS for Everyone?
A specification defines an environment for multiple high-level languages to be used on different computer platforms. • Created by Microsoft based on .NET, standardized by MS, Intel, HP and others, ratified by ECMA and ISO. • .NET is an implementation of CLI for desktop systems. • .NET Compact Framework is an implementation of CLI for portable devices. • Open Source implementations: Mono development platform (Novell), Portable .NET (dotGNU) CLI : Common Language Infrastructure

Even though, CLI/CTS/CLR can make a program written in any language to run on any platform, the entire program (including all libraries used) has to be on the platform before running. Can we have part of a program on one computer and another part of the same program on another computer? Distributed Computing. A program is divided into multiple parts and different parts are distribute on different computers. e.g. virtual surgery.
.Net is a framework for developing OS-platform-independent, programming- language-independent, web-enabled, distributed applications. What is .NET?
To run distributed code on the web, we need a standard way to register the code and a standard way to access the code. • Registration: • UDDI Registry: Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration. • Access: • SOAP: Simple Object Access Protocol • WSDL: Web Service Description Language .Net is Web-enabled and Distributed
