Upcoming Pluralsight Course - Web Development with ASP.NET MVC, EF Code First, jQuery, and HTML5

Update: This course is now available here!

 

OK...so I admit we're still working on the final title, but there's a lot of great information in this upcoming Pluralsight course I'm working on so it's hard to keep the title short.

The goal of the course is provide an end-to-end look at different technologies and show how they can be integrated together.  Most courses focus on a very narrow topic (such as jQuery Fundamentals, Structuring JavaScript, or ASP.NET Web Forms) or only focus on getting started with technologies but don’t go into more real-world scenarios.  With this new course, I walk through building an application from start to finish and discuss data repository classes, creating and using Model classes, ASP.NET MVC controllers and actions, converting Model objects to JSON, client-side technologies such as jQuery, JavaScript patterns, HTML5, Ajax calls, structuring code, plus a lot more. If you've been waiting for a course that ties everything together into one cohesive unit then I hope this course will help you out. Here's a quick list of a few of the key technologies that the course will cover:

I'm doing the final edits on the last chapter's videos right now and hope to have everything finished up by today. I'm hoping the course will be live by early next week.

I'm considering adding a new chapter or two once the course is released that covers converting the project from MVC3 to MVC4 to demonstrate a few of the new features that MVC4 has. If you'd be interested in having that type of content down the road please let me know (leave a comment).

The title should be "how to become a rock star" :)

It would be awesome if you could include a chapter or two on asp.net web api

Sounds great. I'd love to see the MVC4 conversion with more information on MVC4 features, specifically the Web API feature but other features as well (minification, bundling, etc).

Dan,

I'm thinking of writing a bot that spams your blog with the sentence, "Give us the extra content, please!" Just so you know how important it is to include more pieces of the puzzle for everyone who is struggling to come to terms with end-to-end web application development ;)

It sounds like it's about time I signed up for a Pluralsight membership.  I think this is the one that's going to push me to do it.

Brilliant news, I cannot wait to watch your videos as I am a fan of your PluralSight collection and specially the Structuring JavaScript Code one.

Some MVC topic are still missing and hope you can cover them one day;

1) MVC performance measuring using Filters and third party add-on’s and the best practices around that. May touching Glimpse as well.

2) MVC or ASP.NET special login requirement like extended sessions or login time and how to tackle those challenges. 

Good luck and looking forward to watch your new videos.

My only concern would be the inclusion of JQuery templates, as they are being dropped by Microsoft and replaced by JSRender (which is still in Beta).  How about adding knockout and using its template engine?

Darren: Thanks for the comment. The course is covering jQuery Templates (a small part though of the overall project shown) because as of today it's still the approach I'd recommend. It's stable (even at a dead-end beta) and gets the job done. However, if I end up doing a migration to MVC4 and add some new modules (which is what the question was about) I'll more than likely either use KO templates or JSRender for that. :-)
