Quick Enrol

You Will Learn How To

  • Build and deploy secure, scalable Web applications using the MVC 3 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 3) 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 .NET platform. Differing completely from traditional ASP.NET development, ASP.NET MVC 3 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 3 to build Web applications.

Who Should Attend

Anyone involved in the development of Web applications using Microsoft technology and new to ASP.NET MVC. 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 3. Exercises,completed in C# or Visual Basic, include:
  • Creating a clean application architecture with MVC 3
  • Implementing robust controllers for smooth application flow
  • Testing controllers and views with test-driven development
  • Generating dynamic views with Razor
  • Validating user input with client and server-side rules
  • Building richer user interfaces with Ajax and jQuery
  • Restricting application access with role-based security
