ASP.Net MVC Quick Start

    This course is a very quick workshop to take you through the basic actions that will be required for you to create an awesome, real–world CRUD web application in just a few hours (you could do it over a weekend very easily) using ASP.Net MVC, the Entity Framework (code–first development approach), and the built–in scaffolding capabilities of ASP.Net MVC.  In the end, you’ll have your own public–facing website to enhance your resume and show off your skills in your own e–portfolio for job interviews and applications!  

    MVC Model, View, Controller, and is a well–known and established design pattern.  Microsoft has made it extremely easy and convenient to create your web solutions using this pattern.  In Microsoft’s MVC framework, we find that convention is favored over configuration, so as long as we follow a few simple guidelines, the system will do a lot of the work for us. 

    We’ll also be taking a quick look at how we can use the Entity Framework to easily model and create a database for us.  By using the code–first approach, we’ll simply create our models and then look at writing a DBContext to store the models.  We’ll also look at some of the more critical operations, such as building relationships and seeding our data.
