Build Real-World Web Projects with ASP.NET 6.0 Online Course

Build Real-World Web Projects with ASP.NET 6.0 Online Course

This online course offers a step-by-step guide to mastering ASP.NET Core concepts through practical coding examples in Visual Studio 2019. You will start by creating a Razor app to-do list with an in-memory collection, then build the same app using MVC for comparison. The course also covers creating a Web API with Serilog for error logging and teaches CRUD operations in an ASP.NET Core 3.1 MVC application. Additionally, you will learn how to consume public APIs via an in-house MVC client. The course concludes with a section on building a Web API using ASP.NET 6.0 and EF Core, providing hands-on experience with modern technologies for database-driven applications.
