In this course, you will learn how to create a modular, dynamic web application with ASP.NET Core MVC, Razor, and Razor tag-helpers. Furthermore, you will also learn how to localize that application in several languages, and finally how to publish it.

You will cover many different aspects of ASP.NET development including: how to optimize user interfaces, validate user input, how to write clean and maintainable code with dependency injection and configuration data, and a whole lot more.

By the end of this course, you will be able to build both a public website and a business application based on ASP.NET Core MVC, with advanced features such as caching, authentication, and authorizations, and while conforming to Microsoft best-practices.

## Official downloads and documentation ## 

This section contains links to the official Microsoft downloads and documentation websites.

### Where to download Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code ###

Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code can be downloaded [here](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/).

Visual Studio Code is free, while only the community edition of Visual Studio is free. However, the community edition is enough to experiment with all examples of this course and to create your own ASP.NET Core applications.

### Official ASP.NET Core documentation ###

The complete ASP.NET Core documentation is [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/aspnet/core/),
while documentation specific to ASP.NET Core MVC is [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/mvc/overview).

### Creating custom binders and formatters ###
A detailed explanation on how to create a custom binder can be found [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/aspnet/core/mvc/advanced/custom-model-binding).

A detailed explanation on how to create a custom formatter can be found [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/aspnet/core/web-api/advanced/custom-formatters).

### Clent-side unobtrusive validation ###
[This old Brad Wilson article](https://bradwilson.typepad.com/blog/2010/10/mvc3-unobtrusive-validation.html) describes all available unobtrusive validation adapters and explains how to code your custom adapter.

## Encrypted configuration sources in azure ##
In an Azure web application, sensitive configuration data can be stored either in ["App Configuration"](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/azure/azure-app-configuration/quickstart-aspnet-core-app) or in ["Azure Key Vault"](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/aspnet/core/security/key-vault-configuration).

### Other validation providers ###

ASP.NET Core offers providers other than the validation-attribute-based validation provider. The most used is the fluent validation provider. It uses rules written with a fluent interface for defining validation constraints instead of validation attributes. It is available through [this NuGet package](https://www.nuget.org/packages/FluentValidation).
