Course description

In this course you’ll learn about these ASP.NET caching features, as well as those implemented and extended in MVC 4. You’ll first learn about how caching works and some scenarios where you can use various caching features. Then you’ll learn about server-side caching, ranging from caching features that support a single Web request to those that span across multiple users and multiple sessions. You’ll learn about the OutputCache action method filter and how it provides some very flexible caching options. And you’ll learn about donut and donut hole caching, two techniques that help implement some advanced caching techniques. And we’ll wrap up the course by exploring various client-side caching techniques, including some nice features introduced with HTML 5.
