First Developer Job Terminology Cheat Sheet



Sometimes being an entry level developer in the IT industry is not as easy as it seems. So I have
created this cheat sheet containing different terminologies used in the industry. (I'm a Dot Net developer, so a lot of this will solely be applicable in that environment.)

Please feel free to comment if I need to add something to this list or expand on it.

Simple asp.net MVC 4 explanation

This post is mainly to assist developers (and myself) to help understand how asp.net MVC 4 works and how it fits together to create one AWESOME solution.

I was sceptic at first about asp.net MVC (coming from a drag drop asp.net web forms background) and thought it was just another way of trying to complicate the life of a developer until I started researching asp.net MVC.

This example project does not have any fancy styling, I want to put more focus on the MVC.

Each section contain examples on how to get your MVC project up and running as fast as possible.

The topics covered in this post:
  • Starting your project
  • Models
  • Views
  • Controllers
  • How MVC makes your life easier
