ASP.NET 6.0 - Build Hands-On Web Projects - Create the Customer Controller

In this lecture, the instructor demonstrates how to create a customer controller in an MVC client project using Visual Studio. The process involves adding an empty MVC controller, naming it, and implementing an asynchronous index action method. The lecture covers setting up an HTTP client to make API calls, obtaining the Web API URL, and deserializing the JSON response to a customer list. Finally, the instructor shows how to return the view with the customer list and build the application.
