Course Overview
Hi everyone. Dino Esposito speaking. Are you ready to take a whirlwind tour of UI Best Practices in web views? To be precise, all of the techniques and tips you see in this course are described in the context of an ASP. NET MVC classic application, but all of them as is or with a few minor changes can be ported to ASP. NET Core as well. I plan to upgrade all of the examples available on GitHub to ASP. NET Core over the coming few weeks. Back to the course. By taking it, you are going to take a tour of 12 aspects of web views that are worthy to be improved, fixed, or just validated for effectiveness. I'm talking about picking items from a list, entering a date, providing a better experience with passwords, fixing, and making more attractive those HTML elements not treated by Bootstrap including Bootstrap 4, drop-down content, device detection, smart images that automatically adapt to the device, large form table data, paging, posting to the server without full-page refreshes, and printing. The course targets primary ASP. NET MVC developers, but the concepts and the solutions it presents are mostly based on JavaScript and CSS and rely on common frameworks such as JQuery and Bootstrap in this regard. The audience can then be reasonably expanded to just any front-end developers. Only the examples focus on ASP. NET MVC classic. This said, I hope you'll want to keep this course on your virtual desk and look at it and its related GitHub repo whenever you need a helpful big brother. Talk to you soon, Dino from Pluralsight.
