Course Description

This course provides an end-to-end look at building an HTML5 Web application using Visual Studio 2013 along with different technologies such as ASP.NET MVC, Entity Framework Code First, and jQuery. Throughout the course you’ll see how different server-side and client-side technologies can be integrated to create a robust application that provides flexible data display options to end users.

Topics covered include data access with Entity Framework Code First, using the repository pattern, serving up HTML5 and JSON content using ASP.NET MVC and the ASP.NET Web API, working with dependency injection, parsing data using LINQ to XML, jQuery DOM manipulation and event handling, HTML5 Boilerplate integration, the role of object literals in JavaScript, jQuery UI features, applying patterns to structure JavaScript code to make it more maintainable, as well as several HTML5 technologies including SVG, canvas, video, and more. If you’re looking for an “end to end” course that shows how different technologies can integrate then this is the course for you.
