Lecture 4: Developing Controllers
Live Lecture 
ASP.NET Core MVC is a framework for building web applications by using the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern. The controller is essentially responsible for processing a web request by interacting with the model and then passing the results to the view. The model represents the business layer, sometimes referred to as the domain, and may include data objects, application logic, and business rules.

·       Write code in action filters that runs before or after a controller

      action.

 


Lecture 5: Developing Views
Live Lecture 
Views are one of the three major components of the Model-View-Controller (MVC) programming model. You can define the user interface for your web application by creating views. A view is a combination of HTML markup and C# code that runs on a web server.

Lecture 7: Using Entity Framework Core in ASP.NET Core
Live Lecture 
 

Web applications often use information and they usually require a data store for that information. By rendering webpages that use data from a data store, you can create a web application that changes continually in response to user input, administrative actions, and publishing events.The data store is usually a database, but other types of data stores are occasionally used.

Lecture 11: Managing Security
Live Lecture 
 

Authentication is the act of utilizing several parameters to make sure that a user is who they claim to be.

Lecture 12: Performance and Communication
Live Lecture 
 

Modern web applications require complex interactions with users. Users will often request a lot of data in a small time-frame, while also expecting relevant data as soon as it comes online.
