Intro ASP .NET Core 6 & MVC Web Design for absolute beginner

Create your first ASP.NET Core MVC project in Visual Studio 2022 using the MVC template, configure .NET 6, and learn http/https setup and the project structure.

Discover how the ASP.Net Core MVC structure routes http requests through controllers to models, which load data from the database and generate views that form the response.

Explore how the controller acts as the connector between model and view in an mvc project, navigate the home controller and its views, and understand actions like privacy and index.

Learn how to add the first MVC controller to a new ASP.NET Core project, including scaffolding options, naming conventions like the Home controller, and organizing views with matching folders.

discover how the action in MVC core connects a controller to its views with methods returning an action result, often sharing names with the views like index or privacy.

Discover how layout templates in mvc core use razor pages and html to provide a fixed header and footer, with optional sidebars and variable content across views.

Use the ViewBag to transfer temporary data between the controller, view, and layout, and set dynamic page titles with properties like first name and age.

Explore how SQL Server databases store information in MDF data files and LDF log files, create and manage databases, and understand tables, views, and security.

Learn to use the GUID datatype, a global unique identifier, as a primary key in SQL Server, including the 32-digit format with four dashes and auto-generation.

Learn how to write SQL Server select queries to retrieve data from a table, including selecting columns, using top and order by, and loading all columns with an asterisk.

Explore why the entity framework simplifies database access in MVC web design, sitting above .NET, with scaffolding tools that auto-generate code for quick data operations.

Explore the main parts of Bootstrap, including the container as the page skeleton, the grid and breakpoints, and how rows and columns structure responsive layouts across full-width and fixed containers.

Learn how the default bootstrap container adapts to breakpoints to create responsive layouts, compare it with container fluid and container breakpoint, and implement it in a basic html setup.

Learn to apply bootstrap borders to HTML elements with additive and subtractive options, target sides, and color and width controls, then preview results and prepare for border radius styling.

Explore bootstrap border radius to create rounded corners across images, spans, and buttons using classes like rounded, rounded top, end, and pill; control size 0–3 and add circle shapes.

Learn to align text in bootstrap with text-start, text-center, and text-end, and adapt alignment across device sizes using responsive breakpoints.
