Parent-Child Data with EF, MVC, Knockout, Ajax, and Validation
There are many tutorials that focus on one or two technologies involved in creating an interactive web application, but none cover all the elements of creating a complete solution that uses Entity Framework, MVC, Knockout, Ajax, jQuery validation, and concurrency tracking to roundtrip from client to server and back again. This training course teaches in a way you can easily understand and then apply these elements to your own projects.

There are many tutorials that focus on one or two technologies involved in creating an interactive web application, but none cover all the elements of creating a complete solution that uses Entity Framework, MVC, Knockout, Ajax, jQuery validation, and concurrency tracking to roundtrip from client to server and back again.

This training course teaches in a way you can easily understand and then apply these elements to your own projects.
