Use Code first migrations Module 4: Controllers and Actions Module 4 teaches delegates how to structure and build controllers for key entities by learning how to write actions that return views for different scenarios, including: List, Details, Create, Edit and Delete. Delegates will also learn when views should return different Action result types. What is a controller? Action and parameters Returning Results from Actions Passing data to views Asynchronous Actions Processing HTTP Forms Building controller classes Understand the role of the controller Be able to write Actions to process requests Module 5: Creating Razor Views Module 5 helps delegates to create views and partial views using the Razor engine. They will learn how to render client side mark-up, based on what the Controller's request and the Model sends. Delegates learn how to create master layout pages to enforce a consistent layout and style across a website, plus how to implement forms for the websites 'Create', 'Update' and 'Delete' pages. Using views and partial views Razor Layout pages Using data in views Strongly Typed Views The HTML Helper methods Implementing views and partial views

3 Be able to use the Razor engine to render views and partial views. Create master layout pages for a consistent look and feel. Use Helper methods to generate client side mark-up. Know how to access model data from within Views Module 6: Styling with Bootstrap Module 6 teaches delegates how to work with Bootstrap. They will use the various Bootstrap styles to customise the look and feel of a website. Become familiar with the Bootstraps grid system to control the layout of content and how bootstrap provides a responsive design. Bootstrap getting started Bundling and Minification Bootstraps responsive design Bootstrap components Styling webpages with Bootstrap Know how to use the Bootstrap UI Framework Be able to create mobile-first responsive web pages Module 7: Model Binding and validation Delegates will learn to use data annotation attributes to provide validation for the model data. They use html helpers to provide validation assistance within views, how to protect a MVC application from script injection attacks, and how to implement custom exception handling within the application. Model Binding Data Annotations and Validation Attributes Preventing JavaScript Injection attacks Handling errors in MVC Applications Model Validation and error handling Understand the Model Binding process. Be able to use Data Annotations and Validation attributes within model classes Provide custom error handling for a MVC application. Module 8: Action filters In Module 8, delegates will use Action Filters to control the behavior of an application. They will first use the built-in filters, then learn to create custom Action Filters. Delegates will also make use of global Action Filters, applying them both statically and dynamically. What are Action Filters? Types of Action Filter Using Action Filters Creating Custom Action Filters Adding global filters Using Action Filters

4 Know the different types of filters available Be able to use a built-in Action Filters Create a custom Action Filter Configure global filters Module 9: Advanced URL Routing Delegates learn how to create routes that map URLs to controller actions using both convention-base routing and attributebased routing. They will implement routing constraints to ensure that routes contain the expected data, and how to use Glimpse to de-bug and test complex route configurations. What are routes? Defining and using routes Convention-based Routing Attribute-based Routing Debugging routes Configuring and de-bugging routes Understand the purpose of routes. Know how to add literals and constraints to routes. Know benefit of Areas. Be able to use Glimpse to de-bug routes. Module 10: Web API 2 Controllers and Actions Module 10 teaches delegates when and how to create a restful service using Web API 2. They will learn to use Fiddler2 to help test and debug Web APIs during development and how to call a Web API from multiple clients. WCF vs Web API The HTTP Protocol Content negotiation Web API Controllers Routing Error handling Creating and calling Web API Services Understand the Web API framework Learn about the HTTP requests and responses Know how to create a Web API Be able to consume a Web API from a variety of devices Module 11: Maintaining Server State and Scalability Delegates learn about the various ways of maintaining state within a web server,how different state options affect the scalability of an application, and how to use page output caching and application caching service providers to improve application performance. State management Maintaining state between requests Maintaining state across all requests Maintaining state between user sessions Using Caching to increase performance

5 Managing and maintaining state Understand the various techniques for state management. How to use caching to improve application performance. Module 12: Unit Testing MVC 5 Applications This module teaches delegates to use Visual Studio 2013 Unit Testing capabilities to carry out Test Driven Development (TDD) within an application. They will implement Dependency Injection and learn to create a mock HttpContext for use when testing MVC 5 projects. Test Driven Development (TDD) Writing tests in Visual Studio 2013 Dependency Injection Mocking HttpContext Implement Test Driven Development Using Dependency Injection in web applications Understand the principles of Test Driven Development (TDD) Know how to implement Unit Tests using Visual Studio 2013 Use Dependency Injection to support mocking frameworks Module 13: Using AJAX with MVC 5 Applications Delegates will learn how to make use of AJAX helpers and partial views to do client-side partial updates, and when to use JQuery to gain greater control when making Ajax calls to a server. What is AJAX AJAX Frameworks ASP.NET AJAX jquery Visual Studio 2013 support Enhancing a MVC application with AJAX Understand the need for AJAX Have explored the available frameworks Know how to implement jquery in an MVC application Module 14: Real-time Applications using SignalR Module 14 teaches delegates to use SignalR to add real-time functionality to an MVC application. They will learn how to include the SignalR library into an ASP.NET web application, create hub classes, and design the client-side pages that make and receive calls to and from a server. The demand for real-time applications Emulating real-time functionality over HTTP What is SignalR? Using Hubs Connection handling in SignalR
