Additional Learning

The official ASP.NET website has a lot of great content for learning more about the MVC Framework.

Want to become a better learner? Check out the book Make It Stick by Peter C. Brown, Henry L. Roediger III, and Mark A. McDaniel.

Drawing on cognitive psychology and other fields, Make It Stick offers techniques for becoming more productive learners, and cautions against study habits and practice routines that turn out to be counterproductive.

If you get stuck, or have a question about ASP.NET MVC or C#, or want to help others, be sure to check out the Treehouse Community.

Deploying Your Website

If you want to learn how to deploy your ASP.NET MVC website to the cloud, check out these resources.

To deploy your website to a hosting provider, check out your hosting provider's support pages for instructions specific to that provider.
