Course FAQ
ASP.NET is an open-source, server-side web application framework that is designed for web developments that produce dynamic web pages. It was developed my Microsoft to allow programmers an easier way to develop and build dynamic websites, applications, and services.
In this course, you will learn about all the essential elements within Microsoft's MVC 4 and by the end you will be ready to build your own applications within the MVC framework. You will also learn about key components such as: Entity frameworks, Entity framework migrations, JavaScript, jQuery, and Visual studio web deployment tools.
This course is for anyone who wants to expand their ASP.NET knowledge. This course is great for people who are just getting started with ASP.NET and would like to take it one step further.
Model View Controller (MVC) is a software design pattern commonly used for developing user interfaces that divides the related program logic into three interconnected elements.
Prerequisites for this course would be understanding the C# basics and HTML.

Course Overview
Hi, this is Scott Allen, and welcome to my course on ASP. NET MVC 4. In this course, we'll start building an application from scratch, and throughout the course we will see how to build an entire application using the C# language that stores data in a SQL Server database. Since this is a web application, we'll also be using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. But the primary focus is on ASP. NET MVC, so we will spend our time learning about the M and V and C in MVC, that is models, views, and controllers. We'll see how controllers can respond to a user's request, and how that controller can build a model, and how they can send the model to a view when we build the UI for our web page. We'll also be using models to update data in the database, and that's the part of the course where we can learn how to work with HTML forms and validate the data a user has entered. By the end of the course, you'll be in a good position to work on your own ASP. NET MVC applications and build a web application for your users. I do expect that you are already familiar with the C# language and know some of the basics of a web application, like how to use HTML. If not, we have plenty of courses on Pluralsight that cover everything from the HTTP protocol itself to using JavaScript, CSS, and HTML together, as well as courses on the C# language. I hope you enjoy the course.
