The goal of this course is to teach developers how to customize and extend the MVC framework to meet their needs. MVC is built with powerful extensibility in mind and leveraging this flexibility can help solve tasks faster and more effectively. This course explores the extension points developers are most likely to work with in a real project and which provide the most value in the shortest amount of time. Understanding these features is crucial to building maintainable, properly structured MVC applications.
