Students Will Learn

  • Architecture of ASP.NET MVC web applications
  • Using Visual Studio to create Internet and Intranet applications
  • Creating controllers containing action methods to process HTTP requests
  • Using both the ASPX and Razor view engines to design ASP.NET MVC views to render responses to HTTP requests
  • Creating data models by hand, by using typed datasets, and by using the Entity Framework
  • Creating and debugging ASP.NET MVC routines

Course Description

This course provides students with hands on experience using Visual Studio to create dynamic web applications using ASP.NET MVC and VB.NET. Students should already have a working knowledge of VB.NET.

This course teaches students how to leverage the power of the Model-View-Controller design pattern with the ASP.NET MVC Framework to separate the layers of a web application. Students will use the ASPX and Razor view engines to design a user interface. Students will learn how to build models to manage an application's data layer using both the Entity Framework and LINQ to SQL. Students will 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; using MVC and Web Forms in the same application; 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 not familiar with the VB.NET language should take the 5-day ASP.NET MVC Programming Using VB.NET course instead.
