5½+ Hours of Video Instruction

Overview

ASP.NET MVC 5 LiveLessonsprovides web developers with an

introduction to ASP.NET MVC, which includes a review of web

applications on the Microsoft platform. This course educates the

developer from a master software engineering perspective with an

eye toward frictionless development, best practices, and build and

test automation.

Description

Software engineer and Microsoft MVP Jeffrey Palermo guides

developers through each part of the ASP.NET MVC 5 framework, and he

demonstrates how to leverage each piece to its fullest with

real-world code examples. Viewers will learn how to create

well-structured MVC web applications from scratch, add libraries

and dependencies to the web application without creating

unnecessary coupling, and create dynamic web pages and screens that

accept, validate, and process user input. Viewers will also learn

how to expose complex data to the application’s users through

screens, extend the MVC framework to create cross-cutting behavior

with minimal code, and develop using HTML5, CSS3, and jQuery to

create MVC web applications that function equally well on desktops,

tablets, and smartphones. While learning the framework, viewers

will learn how to properly structure a software system that uses

separation of concerns and layering so that applications can be

maintainable for years to come.

Based on the best-selling

ASP.NET MVC 4 LiveLessons, this video training has been

updated to use Visual Studio 2013 and the MVC 5 enhancements to

security and authentication as well as integration enhancements

such as WebAPI 2 and OData support. The result is that with MVC 5

and WebAPI 2, 80% of REST-style web services can now be done right

alongside the rest of the web application without the complexity of

WCF.
