ASP.NET has experienced a huge and often confusing overhaul in version 5 including the fact that ASP.NET version 5 includes MVC version 6. Except now MVC 6 is ASP.NET Core MVC and ASP.NET is now ASP.NET Core 1. Many things have been changed around and upside down. As an ASP.NET web developer, you need to keep up with this ever changing technology. In this session, you'll do just that.
