Summary


In this chapter, you learned how to use a Web API with JavaScript, after which you covered the basics of AngularJS and KnockoutJS. You also learned about client-side tools that help automate some common tasks while building an ASP.NET web application in Visual Studio 2015.

In the next chapter, you will learn how to build database-driven web applications without having to write SQL code. Instead, you will use Entity Framework, an object-relational mapper that allows you to write code to represent your database entities.
