Mastering C# and .NET Development

This course explores modern web application development with .NET, ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework Core, PostgreSQL, JWT authentication, and Blazor, equipping software developers, programming learners, and aspiring web professionals with the skills to build secure, data-driven, and interactive applications. By the end of this program, you will be able to: -Develop modern web APIs using ASP.NET Core Minimal APIs, controllers, routing, middleware, and dependency injection. -Organize applications using clear, maintainable, and layered project structures. -Implement PostgreSQL data access with Entity Framework Core, asynchronous CRUD operations, and entity relationships. -Secure applications using ASP.NET Core Identity, JWT authentication, authorization, and ownership-based access control. -Integrate interactive Blazor interfaces with REST APIs and authenticated workflows. This program is designed for software developers, programming learners, backend developers, and aspiring full-stack professionals who want to build modern web applications using Microsoft’s .NET technologies. Familiarity with basic programming concepts, object-oriented programming, C# syntax, and fundamental web concepts will help you get the most from this experience. Join us to develop practical expertise in .NET and ASP.NET Core and gain the skills needed to create secure, maintainable, and interactive web applications with confidence.

C# is one of the most widely used programming languages for building reliable, maintainable, and scalable applications. This course helps you build a strong foundation in C# by combining core programming concepts with practical, hands-on development. Throughout this course, you will write and run C# programs, work with variables, data types, operators, decisions, loops, methods, classes, collections, LINQ, modern C# features, file handling, asynchronous programming, testing, and version control. Each concept is reinforced through guided demonstrations that you can follow, pause, replicate, and practise at your own pace. You will also build an Expense Tracker console application, using it to understand how individual C# concepts come together in a complete and structured program. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to: - Write C# programs using variables, data types, operators, user input, decisions, loops, and pattern matching. - Create reusable and maintainable code using methods, debugging techniques, classes, encapsulation, inheritance, and interfaces. - Store, filter, group, and summarize application data using lists, dictionaries, lambda expressions, and LINQ. - Apply modern C# features including records, nullable reference types, exception handling, File I/O, and async and await. - Write unit tests using xUnit and manage source code using Git and GitHub. - Combine the concepts covered throughout the course to build a complete console-based Expense Tracker application. This course is designed for aspiring developers, students, career changers, and beginners who want to build a strong foundation in C# programming before moving into more advanced application development. No prior programming experience is required. Basic familiarity with computers, files, and command-line tools may be helpful, but all required setup and development steps are demonstrated throughout the course. Build the programming skills needed to write clean C# code, solve practical problems, and confidently progress towards advanced C# and .NET development.
