Dive into ASP.NET Core by mastering SOLID principles and Clean Architecture. This course covers essential SOLID concepts and their application in building maintainable, scalable applications.
-Start by setting up your environment and structuring your solution in Visual Studio, then explore CQRS and MediatR patterns for a robust project. - Advanced topics include custom exceptions, FluentValidation, and integrating third-party services. - Learn to develop secure APIs with Blazor WebAssembly and secure them with Identity and JWT authentication. Designed for intermediate to advanced developers familiar with C# and .NET 5+, this hands-on course emphasizes real-world applications. By the end, you'll master SOLID principles, implement Clean Architecture, configure development environments, develop APIs, and secure applications, and enhance them with testing, logging, and auditing strategies. Achieve practical skills for high-quality ASP.NET Core applications, preparing you to create scalable, maintainable software with enhanced security and robust testing capabilities. This intermediate course is for C# developers with basic .NET Core skills, ideally with Visual Studio 2022 and .NET 7 experience.
In this module, we will provide a comprehensive overview of the course. You'll get acquainted with the primary goals, explore the key topics we will cover, and understand the benefits of engaging fully with the course material.
