Course Experts	Steven Borg, Microsoft Certified Trainer, MCSD.NET Steve has over 14 years of experience creating technical solutions to a variety of civilian and military problems. He has been the primary .NET Solution presenter for Microsoft Academic at MIT, Harvard, University of Houston and several other noted institutes of higher education throughout the United States. Steve has been requested by different courseware development teams at Microsoft to teach the Beta versions of their new courseware. Steve has taught both Microsoft Official Curriculum (MOC) 2310 Introduction to ASP.NET, and MOC 2609 Introduction to Programming with C# to both students and the instructional designers. His recommendations has resulted in numerous changes to improve both Microsoft official curriculums. Steve has also taught the world-wide T-Prep of both .NET courses.
Course Topics	The following list represents the sections and topics discussed in this virtual instructor-led course offering.
	Introduction to Designing Business Solutions This module describes the MSF Process Model and the key activities in designing an application model. It also introduces the case study that will be used throughout the course. Overview of Microsoft Solutions Framework Phases in the MSF Process Model Introducing the Case Study—Adventure Works Cycles Application Gathering and Analyzing Information This module describes the various types of information that you need to gather, sources of information, and some techniques for gathering information. Using Modeling Notations Creating Use Cases and Usage Scenarios Gathering Information Analyzing Information Envisioning the Solution This module describes the responsibilities of team members during this phase, how to define the vision of a project, and how to analyze risks associated with a project. The Envisioning Phase Creating a Vision/Scope Document Creating the Project Structure Document Analyzing Risks Creating the Conceptual Design This module explains the purpose of the planning phase and the three design processes that occur during the planning phase: conceptual, logical, and physical design. It will also explain the purpose and benefits of the functional specification and the conceptual design process. An Introduction to the Planning Phase An Overview of the Functional Specification An Overview of the Conceptual Design Process Building the Conceptual Design Optimizing the Conceptual Design Creating the Logical Design This module describes how to create the logical design for a business solution and how to use tools and techniques for documenting the output. It also covers how to optimize the logical design. An Overview of Logical Design Creating a Logical Design Documenting Logical Design Output Optimizing Logical Design Creating the Physical Design This module explains the purpose of the physical design, and the steps involved in completing the physical design. An Overview of Physical Design Physical Design Analysis Physical Design Rationalization Physical Design Implementation Designing the Presentation Layer This module defines and explains how to design the two parts of the presentation layer. Basics of User Interface Design Designing the User Interface Designing User Process Components Designing the Data Layer This module explains how to design the data layer for a solution, how to optimize data access, and how to validate data. Designing the Data Store Optimizing Data Access Implementing Data Validation Designing Security Specifications This module explains how to design security for an application.
