ASP.NET MVC is the tool of choice for building modern, dynamic, scalable websites. MVC 5 includes features that enable rapid, test-driven development. In this course, Mike Benkovich teaches the essentials of the ASP.NET MVC 5 framework. He explains what models, views, and controllers are and how data is passed between them. He shows how to secure applications with the ASP.NET Identity system, use javascript libraries, and deploy applications to cloud-based platforms like Azure and Amazon Web Services. He also introduces the test-driven development (TDD) process that ensures you build software that works the way it's supposed to.
