Overview
ASP.NET is an open-source server-side web application framework developed by Microsoft to enable programmers to create dynamic websites, web applications and web services. The MVC model uses three different logic layers to define web applications – the Business layer or the model layer, the Display layer or the View layer and the Input control layer or the Controller layer.
During the course, participants will learn to build advanced ASP.NET MVC applications using .NET Framework 4.5 tools and technologies. The course focuses on engaging participants in coding activities that would help them master development of ASP.Net MVC web applications. Participants will also be taught about the differences between ASP.NET MVC and Web Forms in order to gain a better understanding of both and know the best times to use each.
