Front-end developer in a .NET world - What do I need to know? [closed]

Question

When working on the front-end of a .NET application what are the basic prerequisites? What do I need to know in order to survive, assuming I already have knowledge of HTML/CSS/JavaScript plus a general awareness of the MVC pattern and how it works. Is there anything else?

Answer 1

If you're using ASP.NET MVC, you need to know very little. The UI work is all about HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

The bonus-features that will help you to make good designs are:

1) Master Pages (this is a template that can be applied to many pages, so you just populate it with the content areas)

2) Partial Views (you can create a "bit" of a web page, which the server will stitch into a single html page AND that you can load using an AJAX call)
