Summary
The ASP.NET Core MVC Framework is the latest evolution of Microsoft’s ASP.NET web platform, built on a completely new foundation. It represents a fundamental change to how Microsoft constructs and deploys web frameworks and is free of the legacy of earlier technologies such as Web Forms. ASP.NET Core MVC provides a "host agnostic" framework and a high-productivity programming model that promotes cleaner code architecture, test-driven development, and powerful extensibility.

This course starts with an introduction to ASP.NET Core MVC and the Model-View-Controller pattern on which it is based. You’ll learn about the main differences between MVC and Web forms applications, see how to build a real MVC application with Visual Studio, explore each of the three main components of an MVC application, and how to create controllers and actions to manage the workflow of an application. You’ll dig into action methods and results, explore models, learn to implement a model using both custom classes and Entity Framework Core data models, and how to centralize data validation using a model. Next you’ll get into views, how to create them, interact with data provided by the controller, how to add content to a view, and use HTML helpers to make it easier to build views. As you progress further you’ll explore how to use dependency injection and unit testing, create tag helpers, partial views, and view components. Finally, you'll delve into the topic of application security and learn to authenticate and authorize users.
