Pluralsight Courses

This course will use a step-by-step approach for showing the student how to build several UI widgets using HTML, HTML 5, CSS/CSS3 and Bootstrap. The overall project for this course is a simple Music Site that shows how to build all these widgets. There will be step-by-step demos for each module to illustrate the concepts of building custom UI widgets. We will use Visual Studio 2013 to build the HTML, however, any editor can be used as we will not be using any Microsoft-specific technology. The concepts in this course can be applied equally to PHP, MVC, Web Forms, or any web development system. At the end of the course the student will have built several ready-to-use UI widgets they can incorporate into their own web projects right away.

Creating your own bootstrap template that you can reuse across many applications is simple. In this course you will build up a collection of components that you build into an MVC application. You will create both horizontal and vertical data-driven menu systems. You will see some jQuery libraries that can add great functionality to your MVC apps. In addition you will learn when you should use a library versus when you should create your own. You will see a collection of cool UI widgets that are much smaller than those you will download on the web. You will see how to create tables that can sort and page data both client-side and server-side. Finally you will learn to build maintenance pages with search, add, edit, and delete capabilities all one a single page.

Most of us build typical business web sites using ASP.NET Web Forms. We are now being asked to build these as mobile-aware web sites. Using Bootstrap is a great place to start and Web Forms can do all of this - without having to learn MVC. This course will teach you how to build business applications using Web Forms, Bootstrap, HMTL5 and CSS3. You will be shown how to create standard business pages such as a Member Log In, Forgot Password, Member Sign Up, About, Contact Us, Address, Member Profile, Credit Card, and many others. You will also learn how to create navigation for your business application.
