Overview/Description
The ASP.NET MVC framework can be used to develop scalable web and mobile applications using a variety of established web standards and design patterns. The latest version of Model-View-Controller or MVC that is integrated into the Visual Studio environment, MVC 5, includes a range of new features. These features include a new identity framework, attributed led routing, and the ability to override filters. In this course, you'll learn how to use Entity Framework 6 with MVC 5 applications. You'll also learn about the features of Web API 2, and how to create web applications that use all of the ASP.NET technologies. You'll learn how to support real-time communications with SignalR, how to test for browser support, and how to deploy MVC 5 applications to Azure.

Target Audience
