What this course covers

This course explains the request flow in ASP.NET Core MVC using practical, beginner-friendly examples. You will learn how routing selects a controller action, how view models carry data, how Razor renders HTML, and how validation errors return to the same screen.

Core flow

  1. Browser sends a request to a route.
  2. The controller action prepares data or accepts posted form values.
  3. The service layer handles business rules.
  4. The Razor view renders the response.

Practice task

Create a simple inquiry form with GET and POST actions, server-side validation, and a success message.
