MVC 5.2, Part 2 of 2: Views, Attributes, Identity, and Filters

Course description

In this course, you will be learning about many of the new features in MVC 5. We will learn about the new enhancements to MVC Views such as Enum Helpers and unobtrusive Ajax for the MaxLength and MinLength attributes. Another cool new feature bundled with MVC 5 is Attribute Routing. With several new attributes, we can easily configure routes directly on the controller and its actions. Next on the list is ASP.Net Identity. We will briefly explain what ASP.Net Identity is and review the default ASP.Net Identity code create by Visual Studio in new MVC 5 projects. Finally, we will discuss Authentication Filters and Filter Overrides.

Each LearnNowOnline training course is made up of Modules (typically an hour in length). Within each module there are Topics (typically 15-30 minutes each) and Subtopics (typically 2-5 minutes each). There is a Post Exam for each Module that must be passed with a score of 70% or higher to successfully and fully complete the course.

Prerequisites

The course assumes you are an experienced ASP.Net MVC developer. You should have experience with ASP.Net MVC 4.0 or later. You should have experience using Visual Studio 2012 or later to create Web Applications. Knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript is essential for the sections of Bootstrap and ASP.Net MVC Views.
