ASP.NET MVC 5 Fundamentals - Part 3 - Identity and Security

ASP.NET MVC 5 Fundamentals covers all the new features of ASP.NET MVC 5, as well as the new features for web developers in Visual Studio 2013. The course looks at the Katana and OWIN middleware components to see how the components work at a low level and how they fit into ASP.NET pipeline. The new identity and membership components are covered, and a demonstration is included to customize and seed the membership database. We look at Bootstrap 3's grid and responsive design system, as well as the Web API 2, including a demo of making authenticated calls against a Web API from JavaScript. The Entity Framework version 6 is covered including the new async API in EF6, and we'll build an application to stream performance counter data using SignalR and Knockout. Finally, there are tips and tricks for editing HTML, JavaScript, CSS and LESS with Visual Studio 2013 and extensions like Web Essentials, which brings the Zen Coding plugin to the Visual Studio.
