In Detail
In this course, we will build an address book web application from scratch using C# and ASP.NET MVC applying the concepts introduced. By the end of the book, we will have a complete application where we will be able to add, edit and remove contacts from the address book, login and register users and also login as an administrator to manage the users and permissions of the application.
Our application will look like a real-life scalable web application where the code is covered with tests. We will have also taken into account the performances for the end user by implementing a caching strategy using RedisCache.
On top of developing a robust application, the readers would have also learned how to deploy an application and how to work within a team of developers using a source control manager and continuous integration principles.
