   •  Get introduced to the basic concept of N-Tier

   •  See why N-Tier is a preferred architecture

   •  Take a deeper look into N-Tier structure reflected in MVC

This video we look at what a Controller is. Controllers preform routing request from the UI and retrieve Razor page template to forward to the view.

   •  See what a Controller does in MVC

   •  Look at the structure of a Controller in Visual Studios

   •  Look how routing works in a Controller with request from the UI

This video directs us create a view template file using Razor. Razor-based view templates have a .cshtml file extension. We change our Index home page to have a connection to our HelloWorld page.

   •  Change the HelloWorld controller to point to a new view

   •  Add a HelloWorld folder and view

   •  Look at Razor view page structure

This video directs the you to add classes for managing a book collection in a database. These classes will be the "Model" part of the MVC app. The model class is known as POCO class (from Plain Old CLR Objects) because they do not have any dependency on EF Core. The class just defines the properties of the data that will be stored in the database for the app.

   •  Add Class for managing Books in a database, which will be the “Model” of the MVC app

   •  Use Entity Framework Core to build database function code

   •  Create a database reflecting the model with Entity Framework Migrations

This video looks at how Windows Presentation Foundation can be used by developers to create real world desktop applications.

   •  Start a new WPF – Windows Presentation Form

   •  Work with XAML and Markup

   •  Create a new GUI – developing the Graphic User Interface

This video we look at ToolBox in WPF - Designer using a drag and drop to create a simple GUI.

   •  Start a new WPF project called Italy_Pizza

   •  Look at the ToolBox and the tools

   •  Learn some basics in formatting Radio Buttons and Labels

This video the user works with images to add to the GUI presentation and formatting.

   •  Continue working on our WPF project called Italy_Pizza

   •  Work with images and create a new image file

   •  Format layout for a more user-friendly interface

This video directs the user in writing C# code to the backend. This will give the application functionality.

   •  Continue working on our WPF project called Italy_Pizza

   •  Added C# code to the backend and create code in button click

   •  Create Pizza class

In the last video of section four, we finish the Pizza Class by adding methods. These methods will add more functionality to the application.

   •  Open WPF project called Italy_Pizza to complete the Pizza Class

   •  Fill in methods in Pizza Class

   •  Run finished application

This video introduces us to Universal Windows Platform in .Net Core, which works with the .NET Core SDK framework.

   •  Get introduced to Universal Windows Platform multiformat uses and scope

   •  The UWP Core APIs are the same on all Windows 10 devices

   •  Take a quick look at Microsoft Store

This video we look at what a Controller is. Controllers preform routing request from the UI and retrieve Razor page template to forward to the view.

   •  See what a Controller does in MVC

   •  Look at the structure of a Controller in Visual Studios

   •  Look at how routing works in a Controller with request from the UI

   •  Add Class for managing books in a database, and this class will be the “Model” of the MVC app

   •  Use Entity Framework Core to build database function code

   •  Create a database reflecting the model with Entity Framework Migrations

This video looks at how Universal Windows Platform can be used by developers to create real world multidevice applications.

   •  Create a new UWP application called “Bold New World”

   •  Explore some of the files structure

   •  Look at the different options in the ToolBox

This video we look at ToolBox and coding in C# in UWP.

   •  Let us open our project “Brave New World”

   •  From the page designer - Add some controls from the toolbox and add a background image

   •  Learn to add code to the project

This video the user works with UWP application for phone to develop a simple appointment application.

   •  Create a new 6” phone UWP called “Dr_Appointment”

   •  From the page designer, add some controls from the toolbox and add a background image

   •  Add some simple code to the project

This video directs the user in adding a Command Bar and writing C# code to the backend. This will give the application functionality.

   •  Let us open our project “Dr_Appointment”

   •  Add a command bar and look at the XAML code

   •  Add C# code to the backend of the project

This video looks at testing options in ASP.NET Core. Testing can be used by developers to create code that predictable in production. Code that requires less debugging in later development stages.

   •  Discuss test explorer and third-party tools for testing

   •  Look at Live Unit Testing and IntelliTest

   •  Explore the definition of Code coverage and Microsoft Fakes

In this video, we will create an application to be able to test our code against. We will add a Unit Testing project that references our main project. Finally, we test the usability of our code.

   •  Create a console application called “Bank” and add a Unit Testing project

   •  Learn about dependency and referencing other projects

   •  We will open test manager and run our test

The video shows the user many of the other testing options that exist for Visual Studio. All these Unit Testing frameworks look to the same goal to make writing Unit Test faster. All three go about it in a different way.

   •  Learn NUnit and see how it works and features

   •  Explore XUnit, which is another popular testing format

   •  Finally, the built-in Visual Studio testing tools

The video shows the user how the four most common ways to deploy a new application from Visual Studio.

   •  Deploy to local folder and deploy to local folder

   •  Publish to the web or deploy to network share

   •  Publish to Microsoft Store
