Course Description

This course provides students with hands on experience using Visual Studio to create dynamic web applications using ASP.NET MVC, C#, and .NET6. The class provides a thorough introduction to the C# programming language, including coverage of the essentials of the C# programming language, built in data types, operators, control structures, classes and methods, collections and exception handling.

Students learn how to leverage the power of the Model-View-Controller design pattern with the ASP.NET MVC design pattern to separate the layers of a web application. Students will use the Razor view engine to design a user interface, and will learn how to build models to manage an application's data layer using both the Entity Framework and LINQ. Students also learn how to build controllers containing action methods to manage communication between views and models.

Other topics include data scaffolding; URL routing; implementing security; unit testing; and deploying ASP.NET MVC applications. Comprehensive labs provide the students with experience creating, debugging, testing and deploying dynamic ASP.NET MVC applications.

This course provides thorough coverage of the use of ASP.NET MVC for creation of web applications. Students requiring additional coverage of ASP.NET Web Forms, Windows Forms, WCF or Windows Presentation Foundation should contact HOTT or refer to HOTT's complete course listing for additional training courses.

Students who are already familiar with C# language syntax and wish to learn about ASP.NET MVC applications in the context of .NET6 may want to take the 3-day ASP.NET MVC Programming for Experienced C# Programmers Using .NET6 course instead.

Students who are already familiar with C# language syntax and wish to learn about ASP.NET MVC applications in the context of .NET Frameworks 4.0 through 4.8 may want to take the 3-day ASP.NET MVC Programming for Experienced C# Programmers class instead.

Course Prerequisites
