FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1- Does this course cover ASP.NET Core 1.0?

No! Once you master ASP.NET MVC 5, you can quickly get up to speed with ASP.NET Core. Mosh has a follow up course on Udemy called “Build a Real-world App with ASP.NET Core and Angular”. In this course, you’ll get up to speed with ASP.NET Core in the context of building a real app from A to Z.

2- Why should I pay for this course when there are lots of free tutorials available?

Free tutorials and YouTube videos are free for a reason. They introduce you to a few concepts here and there, but soon you’ll find yourself jumping from one tutorial to another to fill the missing gaps. By taking a perfectly-structured course, you’ll be confident that you’re in good hands, right from the beginning all the way through to the very end. You pay for saving your precious time: the time that you can spend on the things you love.

Plus, many of these free tutorials, including tutorials published by Microsoft on the official ASP.NET website, teach you poor practices. Throughout this course, Mosh points out some of these poor practices and explains in technical terms why you should avoid them.

WHAT OTHER STUDENTS WHO HAVE TAKEN THIS COURSE SAY

“The is course is very much worth your time and money. Mosh did an outstanding job explaining each aspect of MVC 5 as well as introducing and using other technologies such as Web API. I’ve been working with MVC since it’s release but felt I needed a refresher course and this was excellent. I would also recommend it to developers just getting into MVC as well because Mosh does a great job of explaining the concepts behind what you’re learning. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it.” -Scott Smith
