Additional Learning
ASP.NET MVC 5 (the version that weβre using in this course) relies upon a jQuery validation plug-in to implement client-side validations. There are other ways of implementing client-side validation, including using support available in HTML5 and leveraging vanilla JavaScript. For examples of this approach, see this page on the Mozilla Developer Network (MDN) website.
For more information about the jQuery validation plug-in that ASP.NET MVC leverages, see this page.
