ASP.NET MVC 4 introduces web developers to ASP.NET MVC, along with the history of web applications on the Microsoft platform. Developers will dive into each part of this framework and will learn how to leverage each piece to its fullest with code examples. Viewers will learn how to create well-structured MVC web applications from scratch, add libraries and dependencies to the web application without creating unnecessary coupling, create dynamic web pages and screens that: accept, validate, and process user input. Viewers will also learn how to expose complex data to the application users through screens, extend the MVC framework to create cross-cutting behavior with minimal code, and develop using HTML5, CSS3, jQuery to create MVC web applications that function equally well on desktops, tablets and smartphones.
