Introduction:

Use the .NET Core technologies in this 3-day ASP.NET learning to create and deploy modern applications that leverage microservice design and support multiple devices on multiple platforms. This course builds on developers’ existing knowledge of ASP.NET MVC (Active Server Pages Network Enabled Technologies Model, View, and Controller) to build ASP.NET Core and Core 5 applications, including Web Services

Objectives:

In this ASP.NET learning, you will:

  • Build robust web applications using ASP.NET Core and Core 5 applications, including MVC applications.
  • Leverage both RESTful (representational state transfer) and gPRC (Google Remote Procedure Calls) services.
  • Exploit all the new features of ASP.NET Core, including Razor Pages, View Components, Tag Helpers, and Web service support tools.
  • Use Visual Studio and Docker to create container-based applications, ready to be deployed.
  • Continue learning and face new challenges with after-course one-on-one instructor coaching.
