There are a number of flavors of ASP.NET, Web Forms (Web Sites and Web Applications), Model-View-Controller (MVC) , Razor Pages and the newest one Blazor. This course is aimed at anyone who wants to create dynamic websites using all these models , with ASP.NET Web Forms as the starting point.
ASP.NET is the Microsoft platform for developing Web Applications. Using ASP.NET you can create e-commerce sites, data driven portals and just about anything else you can find on the internet. Best of all, you don’t need to paste together a jumble of HTML and JavaScript code. Instead you can create full scale web apps by leveraging your knowledge of C# coding and a design tool like Visual Studio.
In recent years Microsoft has added MVC (Model View Controller) and Razor pages which offer different ways to build dynamic web pages. To some , MVC and Razor pages are cleaner and more suited to the web. To others , it’s a whole lot of extra effort with no clear payoff. Either way, it’s good to have a strong knowledge of all of these web application programming models before moving onto the most future forward choice …. Blazor.
We cover all these models at a beginners level and offer a multitude of practical applications.
