Murach's ASP.NET Core MVC

If you know the basics of C#, you are ready to learn how to create web applications using Microsofts powerful technology, ASP.NET Core MVC (Model-View-Controller). And theres no more practical way to do it than with this book. By the end of section 1 just 5 chaptersyou will be developing real-world web apps using C# code for the model and controller classes HTML, CSS, and Razor code for the view files (for the user interface) and Bootstrap classes for responsive design so that your apps adapt well to all screen sizes. Youll also be able use the debugging tools in Visual Studio and your browser to test your apps and make sure they will work right for all users. In section 2, you will build out that set of skills to create more complex controllers, work with Razor views, handle cookies and sessions, do model binding, validate data, and handle database data with EF (Entity Framework) Core. Youll also see how all these skills come together in a single application, with coverage of the gotchas that can occur and how to solve them. Finally, in section 3, you can pick up additional skills as you need them to: create custom tag helpers and view components; authenticate and authorise users; use dependency injection to automate testing; and use Visual Studio Code. All along the way, youll get complete web apps that show you how each feature works in context (you can download these for free from the Murach website). Youll get chapter exercises that let you practice your new skills. And youll get Murachs distinctive paired-pages format that presents each skill in a 2-page spread, full of examples, notes, and explanationa format that developers praise because it saves them both training and reference time.

Your books have always been my go-to source because they're perfectly suited to my no-time-to-waste schedule and ADD learning style--they're modular, clean, and hit all the major points without any fluff. I know that by the time I finish, I'll feel very comfortable with proceeding on a live assignment.
