I will use this site to demonstrate the latest ways of working when using the .NET framework using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. This site was built using VS2013 using MVC and adheres to a strict onion architecture pattern. This pattern gives you a powerful way to build dynamic websites that enables a clean separation of concerns and gives you full control over markup for enjoyable, agile development.
Entity Framework (EF) is an object-relational mapper that enables .NET developers to work with relational data using domain-specific objects. It eliminates the need for most of the data-access code that developers usually need to write.
MongoDB is the only database that harnesses the innovations of NoSQL (flexibility, scalability, performance) and builds on the foundation of relational databases (expressive query language, secondary indexes, strong consistency).
ASP.NET SignalR is a new library for ASP.NET developers that makes developing real-time web functionality easy. SignalR allows bi-directional communication between server and client. Servers can now push content to connected clients instantly as it becomes available. SignalR supports Web Sockets, and falls back to other compatible techniques for older browsers. SignalR includes APIs for connection management (for instance, connect and disconnect events), grouping connections, and authorization.
