Description
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.
Major Course Updates
Feb 2020 Three new sections ( 50+ new lectures ) which focus on transitioning from Web Forms to MVC and then Core Razor Pages
Sept 2021- Feb 2024 Two new sections on Blazor (90+ new lectures and more to come!)
Over 600 downloadable demos (sample applications specifically for the current lectures PLUS 100s of supplementary exercise solutions and more added monthly)
Here's how I will help you to succeed:
o Each lecture starts with a list of objectives/speaking notes
o Every example covered in the lecture is available for download in the resources section including the objectives/speaking notes
o Almost every lecture has a set of Practice problems with full solutions provided
o My style of writing and teaching follows the KISS principle : Keep It Super Simple. I try to stay away from fancy computer terminology and try to teach like am speaking to a brand new user with little to no previous knowledge on the subject matter and I am always available for help replying most times within a day.
And finally please do not judge a book by it's cover don't judge the course by the title or this small description section, if you want to know exactly all the topics covered please go to:
