Single-Page Application with ASP.NET & jQuery Hands-On

Learn how to build a single-page application from start to finish with ASP.NET Web API 2, Entity Framework and jQuery.

Single-page applications are the way to go if you want to build state-of-the-art web applications. But if you look around, there are so many big frameworks out there that just seems to take ages to learn. Guess what, you do not need a framework like Angular to build one-page apps. Plain JavaScript and jQuery do the trick and more importantly, you have to build a fast and reliable back end. And that’s what you will learn in this course.

The one-page app you will build is a shopping list application that uses every CRUD operation with HTTP requests, calling RESTful web service – using ASP.NET Web API 2 – which saves your data persistently in a SQL Server database.

Make yourself ready to learn some jQuery, HTML and CSS for the front end. And for the back end, you will use Microsoft’s ASP.NET Web API 2 for the RESTful web service and Entity Framework with Code First Migrations to communicate with the database.

On top of that, you will learn how to publish your one-page app to Internet Information Services (IIS) so that everyone can access your new single-page application.

Patrick, the author of this course, has built several web applications professionally as freelancer and employee and over the years he learned many things that you just do not have to do to succeed in building one-page application. This course will save you time, because you will learn the most important and most important parts quickly, so that you can get your one-page app out there in no time!
