Description

ASP.NET Core introduces numerous features that web developers can put to use to build enterprise-ready, secure web applications with the new version of the platform.

In this course, Building an Enterprise Application with ASP.NET Core MVC, you'll explore a fully-working web application, and will learn how you can scale it up from its current, rather basic state, to a state-of-the-art enterprise application.

First, you'll discover how you can add and manage users and roles, and improve on the site's security.
Next, you'll delve into how the new additions to the ASP.NET Core MVC platform such as tag helpers and view components can be put to real use.
Then, you'll cover how to write tests for the different layers within the application, as a robust enterprise application requires a decent amount of unit tests to be ready.
Finally, you'll learn how you can improve the developer experience using diagnostics and automated deployments to Azure.

By the end of this course, you'll be ready to create real-world enterprise applications with ASP.NET Core MVC.
