Unit 1:
Building Dynamic Web Applications
This
unit introduces many different aspects of dynamic Web applications. It includes
discussions on creating and configuring controls at run time. It then explains
how to build dynamic globalization features into a Web application to ensure
that it is localizable, including using localized resources and applying
different master page layouts in response to culture and language settings. It
concludes with explanations about how to enable dynamic configuration for site
administrators.

Unit 3:
Optimizing Web Application Performance
This
unit introduces topics that will help you improve the performance of Web
applications. It describes how the Page Scripting Object Model can help reduce
the number of round trips for communication between the server and the browser,
and then explains how tracing and instrumentation can be used to monitor and,
therefore, improve the performance of a Web application. The unit discusses how
caching and asynchronous processing can help increase Web application
performance; it then highlights some considerations that developers must
address if the Web application is to be deployed in a Web farm environment.
