Chapter 12. Putting It All Together

Well this is the grand finale! We have learned how to use RavenDB and we have spent the bulk of this book so far laying down important fundamentals. It's almost time to start writing a web application that uses RavenDB for storage.

In this chapter, we shall see how we can build an ASP.NET MVC Internet application that interacts with RavenDB and which you can use as a base for your future developments. We will not go deep into how the ASP.NET MVC framework works but we will focus on how to get connected to RavenDB and we will take things a step at a time, so you can see how the application is constructed.

In this chapter we will cover:

  • Creating the ASP.NET MVC 4 World application

  • Adding models, views, and controllers

  • Creating Indexes automatically

  • Paging the queries results

  • Creating the Master/Details view

  • Creating the Search view
