ASP.NET Core MVC Documentation

This section provides comprehensive documentation for building web applications using ASP.NET Core MVC.

What is ASP.NET Core MVC?

ASP.NET Core MVC is a high-performance, cross-platform, open-source framework for building modern, cloud-enabled applications. It's a web application framework built on top of ASP.NET Core that uses a Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern.

Key Concepts

• Model: Represents the data and the business logic of your application.
• View: Represents the presentation of the data, typically HTML, and is responsible for rendering the user interface.
• Controller: Handles incoming browser requests, interacts with the Model to retrieve or manipulate data, and selects a View to render the response.

The MVC pattern separates concerns, making applications:

• Easier to develop and maintain.
• More flexible and scalable.
• Simpler to test.

Getting Started

To begin building your ASP.NET Core MVC application, you'll need to install the ASP.NET Core SDK. You can then create a new MVC project using the .NET CLI or Visual Studio.

Creating a New MVC Project (using .NET CLI)

dotnet new mvc -o MyMvcApp
cd MyMvcApp
dotnet run

This command will create a new directory named MyMvcApp containing the basic structure of an MVC application and then run it.
