4-Day Hands-On Training Seminar: Full Stack Hands-On Development with .NET (Core)
December 4-7, 2023
9:00AM – 5:00PM (Central)
Level: Intermediate

In this information intense 4-day hands-on deep dive, we will use the entire stack of Microsoft's open source development platform, .NET (formerly known as .NET Core) to build an end-to-end set of applications. This includes Entity Framework (EF) Core, ASP.NET Core MVC, ASP.NET Core Razor Pages, ASP.NET Core RESTful services, and ASP.NET Core Blazor.

The data access layer (DAL) will be developed using EF Core and SQL Server. The DAL will use the full power of EF Core, including code first migrations, global query filters, paging, dynamic query generation with LINQ, using a repository pattern, integration testing, and much more.

The first application we will build is a web application using the Model View Controller (MVC) pattern. While building the first web application, we will use the new features in ASP.NET Core, such as the enhanced configuration system, dependency injection, attribute routing, tag helpers (and custom tag helpers), view templates, view components, and much more.

Next, the RESTful service will be developed. The API will encapsulate the DAL and provide the CRUD (Create, Read, Update, and Delete) methods in a RESTful, tech-agnostic manner. THE API will take advantage of all of the capabilities of ASP.NET Core, including (but not limited to) versioning, swagger, binding, and enhanced error handling.

With the RESTful service in place, the next step is to update MVC application to use the service to interact with the data access later.

The next application we will then build is a web application using ASP.NET Core Razor Pages. This application will also be developed to use both the API and the DAL.

The final application we will build is a single page application using Blazor WebAssembly. This application will use the API for data access and demonstrate the capabilities of ASP.NET Core to build a client application using C#.

You will learn:

  • How to build a data access layer with Entity Framework Core and SQL Server
  • How to build ASP.NET Core RESTful services
  • How to build Web Applications using ASP.NET Core MVC and Razor Pages
  • How to build single page applications using ASP.NET Core Blazor WebAssembly

In short, you will learn what you need to know to do your job when building applications with .NET (Core).

Attendee Workstation Requirements:
You must provide your own computer (Windows or Mac) for this hands-on lab workshop with a camera, wired Internet connection, speakers, and a microphone.

Your computer must have the ability to run .NET 8 and C# 12 code and have access to SQL Server for integration tests. Detailed prerequisites to be sent out prior to the class.
