Enterprise MVC Apps Day II

Description

We know a developer, Sam, who has worked with MVC on an application for his department.

He knows a lot more about how MVC is put together, but he's starting to have issues when he has to go back and make changes. If only he'd known the best ways to structure his code so it could be maintained easily!

There's another project coming up and he's very keen to get it right this time. He wants to make it easy to make changes down the track and be sure he doesn't break anything.

He'd also like to improve his existing project so it's easier to maintain in the future.

In this course, we'll show you the essential techniques SSW developers use to make it easy to maintaining and modify MVC projects.
