ASP.NET Core 2.0 Introduction

Course details

I would like to welcome you to this course that will guide you through creating your very first MVC application using an empty template. To get the most from this course, you should have a basic understanding of HTML and be familiar Object Oriented Programming in the C# language.

ASP.NET Core is a relatively new framework from Microsoft. It has been designed from the ground up to be fast and flexible and to work across multiple platforms. ASP.NET Core 2.0 is the framework to use for your future applications.

You will add the necessary pieces one at a time to get a good understanding of how things fit together. The focus is on installing and configuring middleware, services, and other frameworks. Styling with CSS is not a priority in this course.

You will start by installing middleware to create a processing pipeline, and then look at the MVC framework.

Model classes are still used as data carriers between the controller and its views. There are, however, many new features that you will learn, such as Tag Helpers and View Components. You will also work with Entity Framework to store and retrieve data, and implement authentication with ASP.NET Identity framework. Note that dependency injection now is a first-class design pattern, which means that you need to learn it.

Isincerely hope you will enjoy this course.
