Tutorial Centre opens it's virtual doors
With the huge amount of push Microsoft has been doing regarding the training of beginners and juniors, Dotnet.org.za decided to join the campaign by starting it's own set of Tutorials. The reason for keeping this blog separate was simply to have a central, well tagged area on the site where visitors can easily search and find specific tutorials for specific technologies. The idea is to have various members of the site starts a tutorial or series of tutorials regarding a particular technology, and in very simple step by step guides, explain to beginners and intermediate developers how to build their own application, website or even model car. Something similar to the old 4GuysFromRolla and other such sites from the past.
The first series of tutorials will be related to ASP.Net 2.0 and AJAX. We will be building an ASP.Net 2.0 AJAX Enabled Contact Manager from the ground up using Visual Studio Web Express and SQL Server Express Edition. Armand has offered to provide the same tutorial side by side using Ruby on Rails. We also hope in the process that other members will come forward and start similar tutorials on other technologies or languages, making information sharing and teaching, the core goal.
So with no further ado, I announce the Tutorial Centre open!
