You need to build an HTML client app as a browser app or to package as a hybrid mobile app, and there is a lot of data presentation and manipulation involved. You may be fully embracing the Single Page Application (SPA) architecture, or you may just have some highly interactive and data-centric pages you need to present. You want to make sure you end up with good, clean, maintainable, testable, and easy to implement client and server side code. This workshop will take you end-to-end, showing you how to put together a rich data driven HTML client interface using Aurelia to separate the UI data manipulation, separate the markup and logic, and navigate between views. You'll see how to use Breeze to do the heavy lifting on making the service calls for you, tracking changes on the entities, sending changes to the server side in batches, validating inputs, and more. You'll also see how to set up the server side using ASP.NET Web API to expose the services consumed by your client, as well as to deliver your client side assets. By the end of the day, you will know how to build out the vertical slices of your app from top to bottom.

You will learn:

• How to use Aurelia for structuring your client code with the MVVM pattern, dependency injection, navigation and data binding
• How to manage rich data on the client side with BreezeJS
• How to implement CRUD-oriented services to support your SPA and deliver its HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with ASP.NET
