Building a Web App with ASP.NET Core RC1, MVC 6, EF7 & AngularJS
ASP.NET Core shifted the landscape—and this course gets you building modern full-stack applications immediately. You’ll wire together MVC 6 backends with AngularJS frontends whilst mastering Entity Framework 7 data access, covering the exact stack enterprises still rely on for legacy modernisation and greenfield projects alike.
AIU.ac Verdict: Ideal for backend developers transitioning to full-stack roles or .NET teams adopting Core. The RC1 focus means you’re learning foundational patterns that persist across current versions, though you’ll want supplementary material if targeting the latest ASP.NET releases.
What This Course Covers
This course walks you through the complete ASP.NET Core MVC 6 architecture—from project setup and dependency injection through controller logic, view rendering, and API endpoints. You’ll implement Entity Framework 7 for data persistence, configure migrations, and handle relationships. The AngularJS integration covers two-way binding, services, routing, and consuming your ASP.NET APIs from the client side.
Shawn Wildermuth structures each module around real application scenarios: building a functional web app from scratch, integrating client-side validation with server-side logic, and deploying a cohesive solution. The hands-on labs let you apply each pattern immediately, reinforcing how MVC 6 controllers orchestrate business logic whilst EF7 abstracts database complexity.
Who Is This Course For?
Ideal for:
- Backend .NET developers: Upskilling from ASP.NET Framework to Core’s modern patterns and async-first design.
- Full-stack aspirants: C# developers ready to own both server and client layers using MVC 6 and AngularJS.
- Enterprise teams modernising legacy systems: Learning Core’s architecture to migrate or rebuild existing applications with current tooling.
May not suit:
- Frontend-first developers: If you’re primarily JavaScript-focused, the C# and backend emphasis may feel heavy; consider pairing with deeper AngularJS content.
- Learners targeting latest ASP.NET versions: RC1 and MVC 6 are foundational but dated; you’ll need follow-up courses covering Minimal APIs, .NET 8+, and modern frontend frameworks.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Building a Web App with ASP.NET Core RC1, MVC 6, EF7 & AngularJS take?
The course is 9 hours 21 minutes of video content. Most learners complete it in 2–3 weeks with hands-on lab practice; allow extra time if you’re new to C# or relational databases.
Do I need prior ASP.NET experience?
No, but solid C# fundamentals and familiarity with HTTP concepts help significantly. If you’re entirely new to .NET, consider a C# primer first.
Is this course still relevant given ASP.NET Core RC1 is outdated?
Absolutely. The architectural patterns—dependency injection, middleware, Entity Framework design—remain core to modern ASP.NET. You’ll apply these concepts immediately in current projects, then upgrade syntax and APIs as needed.
Will I learn AngularJS or just integration?
The focus is integration: consuming APIs, two-way binding, and routing. For deep AngularJS mastery, pair this with dedicated frontend courses; for modern Angular or React, you’ll want separate training.
