Quick Enrol

You Will Learn How To

  • Build and deploy secure, scalable Web applications using the MVC framework in ASP.NET
  • Develop powerful application controllers with practical URLs to ensure application robustness
  • Produce a clean, maintainable code base using the Model View Controller (MVC) architecture
  • Create flexible views for user interaction with view helpers
  • Design rich user interfaces with Ajax and jQuery
  • Secure applications using authentication and role-based authorisation

Course Benefits

The Model View Controller Framework in ASP.NET provides a new way to develop Web applications for the Microsoft .NET platform. Differing completely from traditional ASP.NET development, ASP.NET MVC facilitates a refined code structure, total control over content generation and full support for test-driven development. In this hands-on course, you gain the skills required to effectively use ASP.NET MVC to build Web applications.

Who Should Attend

Anyone involved in the development of Web applications using Microsoft technology. Programming experience in C# or Visual Basic at the level of Course 419, "C# Programming", or Course 503, "Visual Basic Programming for .NET", and a fundamental knowledge of HTML are assumed.

Hands-On Training

You gain hands-on experience building scalable Web applications with ASP.NET MVC. Exercises, completed in C# or Visual Basic, include:
  • Creating a clean application architecture with MVC
  • Implementing robust controllers for smooth application flow
  • Testing controllers and views with test-driven development
  • Generating dynamic views with view helpers
  • Validating user input with client and server-side rules
  • Building richer user interfaces with Ajax and jQuery
  • Restricting application access with role-based security

Course Content
