Mar 3 [1/6] Become a Full Stack .NET Developer: Saving Data

Before implementing saving of data from our form, we need to limit access to the add a gig form to logged in users only. This was done simply by adding a Data Annotation [Authorize] to the Create() method found in the GigsController. So any non-logged in users is automatically redirected to Login form when trying to add a gig.

We begin this module by building a View to represent our form to add a gig. At this moment we will not concern ourselves with validation or saving data yet. We will be using Bootstrap (a CSS framework)to build the form elements.

Dec 13 [1/4] Become a Full Stack .NET Developer: Building a Model Using Code-first Workflow

Richard

Technology

After the pre-planning and visual mockup phase was over, we could now start the initial coding of our app's first iteration. For this project we will be using a code-first approach as popularized in recent versions of Entity Framework, that allows us to write the classes for our domain model first and automatically create a database from these, rather than creating a database first and fitting our classes to it.

I plan to initially use this blog to document my learning experience as I go through a PluralSight course entitled "Become a Full-stack .NET Developer". In total this is an almost 15 hour course split into three major sections and several dozen individual modules.

Dec 10 Hello World!

Richard

Personal

Hello World! Famous last words in some cases. Hopefully for me it will be the kickstarter for my new blog here in this my inaugural first post. As you can guess from the domain name, this is a personal blog about "moi" - Richard Coffey - a Irish guy new to the blogosphere.

I'm a technology blogger and codemonkey from the North East of Ireland. I am using this blog to primarily document my learning of the Azure cloud and other Microsoft related technologies. Click here to review my CV (which is built using various Azure serverless technologies).
