Course Description

This course is designed to provide an introduction to .NET Core for programmers who already know the C# language. The course focuses on core portions of the .NET Framework that are common across many application areas. It starts with an introduction to the architecture and key concepts of .NET. The course then discusses class libraries, packages, metapackages and frameworks. Coverage includes working with delegates and events, I/O and serialization, memory management, processes and threads as well as threading and an introduction to the Task Parallel Library (TPL).

This course also provides a practical hands-on introduction to developing Web applications using ASP.NET Core MVC 6 and C#. This Web development framework from Microsoft emphasizes separation of concerns in the architecture and testability of applications. This course covers the fundamentals of the Model-View-Controller design pattern and its implementation in ASP.NET Core MVC. Visual Studio 2017 with ASP.NET Core 2.0 is used as a productive platform for creating MVC Web applications.

After presenting the fundamentals of the technology with several examples, the main components of Model, Controller and View are covered in detail. The discussion of the Model incorporates Microsoft technologies for persisting data, including XML Serialization and ADO.NET with SQL Server 2016. The routing mechanism of ASP.NET MVC is covered. The course includes an introduction to ASP.NET Web API.

Comprehensive hands on exercises are integrated throughout to reinforce learning and develop real competency.
