Blazor gives .NET developers the chance to leverage their C# skills and build interactive web UIs. Writing modern web applications with a rich UI can be tedious. So in this course, you will learn Modern Web Development with Blazor and .NET 5 (This course has been updated to show how you can create the project using Visual Studio 2022 and .NET 6.), you will gain the ability to build web applications using Blazor. We will explore: setting up your first Blazor application; how to work with an API and how data binding works; how to create components and integrate JavaScript components.

Developing With Blazor - The most popular JavaScript client-side web frameworks have been Angular, React, Vue and others. In this course, we keep it .NET by using Blazor, which is Microsoft's response to that monopoly.

Blazor allows you to create a Single Page Application, on top of .NET Core and continue coding in C# (without needing to flip between C# and JavaScript too much). Blazor apps are composed of reusable web UI components implemented using C#, HTML, and CSS. Both client and server code is written in C#, allowing you to share code and libraries.

Blazor WebAssembly - Blazor can run your client-side C# code directly in the browser, using WebAssembly (WASM for short). Because it's real .NET running on WebAssembly, you can re-use code and libraries from server-side parts of your application. We will be exploring many intricacies of the Blazor life-cycle, data flow, JavaScript Interoperability and general development activities and nuances.

Deploy To Microsoft Azure Cloud - Azure Web App Service is key to deploying the API and Blazor Server Applications. We will also enlist the use of Azure SQL for Database to support our API.

When you have finished this course, you will possess the skills and knowledge to build a web application using Blazor.

Azure Functions is one of the quickest and easiest ways to get your code running in Azure while maintaining a cost-effective and serverless model.

In this course, you will learn how to create your own Azure Functions apps and visualize how full applications can be built using Azure Functions' powerful, yet simple model. We will explore the tools needed to support development, both locally and in the Azure Portal, and explore the different triggers, bindings and deployment models that are possible.

By the end of this course, you should have a fundamental understanding of what Microsoft Azure Functions is, how it can be used and how it interacts with other services. This course aligns with training required for the Exam AZ-204: Developing Solutions for Microsoft Azure, though it is not an official training guide. Ultimately, you will know enough about developing with Azure Functions to be functional in your workspace, without taking the exam.

In this course, you will learn the skills you need to be able to apply TDD in your .NET projects. Test Driven Development (TDD) is a powerful approach to building solid and robust software. Unit Testing is a type of software testing where code is written to automate the testing of sub-sections of an entire application. This methodology gives more functional coverage and reduces the need for manual regression testing when the application's code changes. The purpose is to validate that each unit of the software code performs as expected.

You will discover the basics of unit testing and the red-green-refactor cycle. You will also learn how to test and implement business logic in a .NET Core application using xUnit as a testing framework and Moq as a mocking library.

After this course, you will have fundamental knowledge of Test Driven Development that will help you as you move forward to test and implement new features in your C# projects. You will have the skills and knowledge of creating a testable and maintainable ASP.NET Core application needed to architect real-world, enterprise .NET Core apps.

In this course, Entity Framework Core - A Full Tour, you will learn to work with data in your .NET applications. Most times when courses are created for .NET technologies, the details of Entity Framework and its sheer power are neglected. We get distracted with abstractions and layers and don't focus on what Entity Framework is doing and can do.

In this course, we will review the general benefits of using Entity Framework Core 5, which is Microsoft’s flagship Object Relational Mapper (ORM), to relieve you of many concerns and challenges that come with this component of software development. We will also spend time discovering how EF Core translates classes and references to Database Models and Relationships.

We will learn how to write queries, update databases incrementally, rollback changes and explore the myriad capabilities that Entity Framework Core affords us.

When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Entity Framework Core needed to fluidly interact with data and write queries for .NET Core applications with ease.

In this course, you will learn the basics of modern authentication using the ASP.NET Core Identity Library and learn to extend the functionality relative to your specific business needs. While perfect security is arguably impossible to achieve, we will explore a variety of techniques that go a long way in ensuring security and relative ease of use simultaneously. We will look at implementing security in a practical ASP.NET Core application and how we can implement role, claim and custom policy-based authorization.

ASP.NET Identity Core - Authorization, Authentication and User Management are mainstay features in real world applications. Identity Core is the flagship library, packaged with ASP.NET Core projects to help us get the most security possible out of the box. Getting authentication and authorization done right in your website can help keep your users and their data safe from attacks. Added features such as Two and Multi Factor Authentication are relatively easy to plugin and this library can easily be extended to implement unique business rules to surround how users are treated.

This course has content for developers at all levels as it is never too late or early to start thinking about the best security practices for your web application.

Learn how to build a RESTful API using ASP.NET Core API, Entity Framework, enterprise-grade practices for a scalable and future-proofed Web API solution. We will implement various support tools for logging, documentation, security and error handling.

ASP.NET Core based on the new .NET 6 runtime, is Microsoft's modern, cross-platform framework for building enterprise-ready web applications. In this course, you will learn everything you need to know about building a RESTful API using .NET Core 6, from understanding the folder structure and files, to building and deploying a complete web REST API.

Learn ASP.NET Core / .NET 6 - Microsoft .NET is a platform that drives the business technology of many of the top corporations in the United States and many other countries. It is the predominant technology used to drive enterprise-scale business technology. Companies have chosen .NET because of its proven scalability, reliability, and support. Not many technologies have achieved this level of stability, maturity and speed. Creating a flexible yet stable technology is quite a feat, and that’s exactly what ASP.NET Core developers have achieved.

The .NET language of choice to learn is C#, as it is among the most widely used languages today. It’s a general purpose programming language that can handle almost any problem, from desktop to mobile to dynamic web applications. As such, there is a high demand across the world for .NET developers in a variety of industries, so that means that more jobs are available for candidates with a foundation built upon .NET technologies.

Build An API - The acronym API means Application Programming Interface. The ability to design and maintain an API is an important toolset for the modern web developer. It allows you to extend the accessibility of your software to external applications and other developers, leading to a more global software solution.

REST APIs have become a standard in the industry because of their ability to serve essential functionality from any kind of backend, to any kind of frontend while catering to thousands of clients simultaneously. Now is a great time to skill up and start adding ASP.NET Core Web API to your skillset.
