Today we focused on enhancing an existing view/template to render not only a list of all the glossary terms, but also the details for a single glossary term. We used some nice Razor logic to check for the existence of a an "id" querystring parameter value and make sure it has a valid data type. From there we rendered a different block of code for the list versus for the details. We capped it off with some basic UX work and now we have a fully functional app with related entities, and much more!
