Course Overview
Hi everyone. My name is Peter Kellner, and welcome to my course, ASP. NET Core Tag Helpers. I'm a software engineer at the consulting company, 73rd Street Associates. Tag helpers are far and away the best new feature in ASP. NET Core. Razor view pages now look like clean HTML. This course is laser-focused on tag helpers. Some of the major topics we will cover include authoring our own tag helpers, using the tag helpers the ASP. NET team built for us, building our own JavaScript Manager, and using advanced tag helper features including dependency injection. By the end of this course, you'll know not only how to build your own tag helpers, but you'll be able to use and extend the built-in ones with the advanced knowledge of how they work. Before beginning the course, you should be familiar with ASP. NET MVC. You won't need to know anything about ASP. NET Core, as I will explain the differences Core brings to us. I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn ASP. NET Core Tag Helpers at Pluralsight.
