Learn ASP.NET Core MVC
Learn ASP.NET Core MVC
Be ready next week using Visual Studio 2017
About the Book
You're a developer who knows nothing about ASP.NET Core MVC. Which is fine, except that you need to start coding your next application using ASP.NET Core 1.1 MVC and Visual Studio 2017.
Don't worry: I have you covered. I've been training hundreds of developers like you during 15 years, and converted my experience into this book. I know from experience teaching what takes more time to learn in ASP.NET Core MVC, and will spend time only where appropriate.
Plus this book is packed with exercises which build up into a full project: you develop a small e-commerce sample web site. You’ll allow users to browse for products, and you’ll also create a back-end where authenticated users will be able to list and edit products.
Read this book, and you can code your ASP.NET Core MVC application using Visual Studio 2017 within a week. Or your money back.
