QA Volunteers Needed for "ASP.NET MVC Basics"

Hello! We're looking for some volunteers to review and give feedback about our next C# course: ASP.NET MVC Basics.

ASP.NET MVC is a popular server-side framework developed by Microsoft that is used to build dynamic websites. In this course, you'll learn about the basics of ASP.NET MVC while we build a comic book gallery website using Visual Studio Community. Along the way, you'll learn how to create a new project, add controllers and views, model data, and create repositories.

Sign up below to be a part of the QA session. We'll be releasing this course next week, so if you'd like to QA, we'd need all feedback by Monday, June 27.

I was looking forward to taking this course anyway, so I'm willing to give it a shot.

Hi James, good to hear this will be released soon. I should have time to power through it on the weekend, so sign me up. I've some (~6-12 month) work experience with ASP.NET/MVC developing internal systems so hopefully my feedback will be valuable.

Hey James,

I've been working with MVC for almost 2 years now. Hopefully I can be of some help!

Quick update on QA testing for this course... We're currently experiencing an error with the code challenges for this course that we'd like to resolve before we start QA testing. Given that, QA testing won't start today as planned. Because of this delay, we'll push back the June 27th deadline. I'll give another update once we've determined what the new schedule will be.

Sorry for the delay and change in plans.

If you're still in need of volunteers I'd be happy to help.

I've decided to go ahead and start QA testing while we wait for the code challenges related error to be resolved.

Please just be aware that after successfully completing a code challenge, you'll receive a congratulations message followed by an "Internal Server Error" dialog. In the dialog, click the "Restart Challenge" button to restart the code challenge, then use the navigation bar at the top of the screen to move to the next step in the stage.

You should receive an email within the hour with a link to start QA testing. Thanks for your patience and please let me know if you have any questions.

The code challenges related error has now been resolved, so you shouldn't encounter any "Internal Server Error" dialogs when completing code challenges.

Just finished the entire course and didn't find any bugs except for the one below.

I can't get past the Code Challenge "Using Strongly Typed Views" because I get the error message: VideoGamesController.cs(5,0): error CS1525: Unexpected symbol `namespace'

The namespace in the editor:

namespace Treehouse.Controllers
{
}

Is declared perfectly fine.

Other than, it is a great course! Great job James Churchill !

Great course so far. One thing I noticed is the project files for "Adding Design Files" do not match what is in the video.

Oops! I'll work on adding that link now. Thanks for catching that :)

Okay... the teacher's notes for that video have been updated with a link to download the ZIP file of the design files.

We're going to end QA and publish the course. Thanks everyone who helped with QA testing. I'd encourage you to continue testing and if you find any issues, please reach out to me and let me know so that I can fix them.
