Strong foundation of Application Development with ASP .NET MVC.
MVC (Model View Controller), a software design pattern used for developing web applications, which enforces separation of concerns – domain model & controller logic from the user interface & makes the maintenance & testing of the application simple & easy.
Three main components of MVC Architecture are – Model, View & Controller.
Model represents a set of data which describes the business logic & performs data access operations. Model also defines business rules for data i.e. how the data can be inserted & manipulated.
View represents the UI (User Interface) components like HTML, CSS, JQuery etc. The main function of view is to display data received from the controller. View also transforms the model in User Interface.
Controller, as the name describes, is responsible for all incoming requests. It receives input from users through View and processes the data with the help of Model & passes the results back to the View. Thus, it acts as coordinator between View & Model.
The latest version of ASP.NET MVC is ASP.NET MVC 5 which enables a developer to develop dynamic websites using the Model – View – Controller technology with clean, extendable architecture & test driven development.
The main features of MVC 5 are – Scaffolding, ASP.NET Identity & Attribute Routing.
Scaffolding technique is used by many MVC frameworks like ASP.NET MVC, Ruby on Rails, PHP etc. Scaffolding is used to generate code for basic CRUD (create, read, update, and delete) operations against your database effectively.
Further you can edit or customize this auto generated code according to your needs. Scaffolding consists of various templates like page templates, entity page templates, field page templates, and filter templates. These templates are called Scaffold templates and these Scaffold templates allow us to build a functional data driven web site quickly
ASP.NET Identity is the new membership system for ASP.NET applications which makes easy to customize user profile and add Login/Log Out functionality to the application.
ASP.NET MVC5 supports a new type of routing, called attribute routing which helps in search engine optimization. In this routing, attributes are used to define routes. Attribute routing provides you more control over the URI(Uniform Resource Identifier) by defining routes directly on actions and controllers in your ASP.NET MVC application and WEB API.
There is a big demand for MVC in current job market as it makes the process of maintenance & testing of the application easy & simple. Hence, to be a successful developer, one must have good knowledge of latest MVC.
