Building dynamic web applications with ASP.Net and ColdFusion MX 7.0: a comparative approach

Published: 20 October 2005 Publication History

Abstract

This paper presents a web application - an online shopping cart designed with two popular web server technologies, ASP.Net and ColdFusion MX 7.0. The purpose of this presentation is to show how this application can be used as a template by instructors in Information Technology courses by providing:
A comparative analysis on how different server technologies deal with essential elements of a web application leading to an increase in both breadth and depth of knowledge in students.
A discussion on how active learning as discussed by VanDeGrift (1) and group participation can be encouraged in the classroom while having students complete this project.
A discussion on how instructors can use this web application to implement a top-down approach teaching style which as shown by Hadjilogiou (2) is effective and can succeed if the goals of the course are explained upfront and the required materials made available. The top down approach of teaching style provides students with the much needed time and exposure to build applications that have a reference to the real world.
