What will you learn?

This program is dedicated to ASP.NET Core, a relatively new Microsoft framework that allows developers to create cloud-enabled web applications across platforms. First, students will get familiar with C#, a type-safe, object-oriented language that is predominantly used with the .NET framework. Through this initial phase, participants will establish a solid grasp of C# fundamentals, priming them for the subsequent stages of the program.

Once a solid foundation with C# is built, learners will explore more advanced coding features for effective software development with .NET - they will be able to put into practice the following concepts and approaches: reflection, multithreading, async programming, JSON and XML serialization. Moreover, participants will be introduced to the pivotal realms of ADO.NET and Entity Framework Core, equipping them with the skills to effectively interact with databases, manage data access, and employ robust object-relational mapping techniques.

The next focus of the program is the ASP.NET Core framework. Here, students will delve into practical exercises involving the creation of uncomplicated web API applications, simultaneously acquiring proficiency in error management within this context. Following this phase, participants will be introduced to the ASP.NET Core MVC framework, a tool that facilitates the development of web applications using the Model-View-Controller design pattern. This final module will equip learners with the essential skills to construct MVC applications, familiarizing them with key elements such as tag helpers, Razor syntax, layout structuring, and the strategic utilization of view components.
