ASP.NET Core

Explore how to structure your web applications effectively using the Model-View-Controller pattern. You’ll learn how to separate your application into three distinct components – managing user input with controllers, processing logic with models, and generating output through views. Razor syntax is used to build dynamic, responsive user interfaces that enhance the user experience. This structured approach promotes cleaner, more maintainable code and simplifies collaboration across development teams. By mastering MVC and Razor together, you’ll be better equipped to build scalable, high-performing applications using ASP.NET Core. 

Learn how to work with databases confidently using Entity Framework Core. This part of the course shows you how to run queries, update records, and manage data migrations in a structured, efficient way. You’ll explore how this object-relational mapping tool simplifies complex database interactions, helping you write cleaner, more maintainable code. By the end, you’ll be able to integrate and manage data seamlessly within your ASP.NET Core applications. 

Learn how to create secure, well-structured RESTful APIs that allow your applications to communicate effectively with other systems and services. You’ll work with core HTTP methods, structure endpoints, and manage responses in a way that ensures clarity, consistency and reliability. This section also places a strong emphasis on security, introducing key techniques such as authentication, authorisation and role-based access. You’ll learn how to integrate Microsoft Identity to manage users and protect sensitive data, giving you the confidence to build robust, secure APIs that meet the demands of your business. 

Gain confidence in the reliability of your applications by learning how to apply unit testing using xUnit. You’ll write and run tests that validate the behaviour of your models and controllers, making it easier to catch issues early and maintain code quality as your project grows. The course also guides you through deployment, covering how to publish applications to both Internet Information Services and Microsoft Azure. By the end of this section, you’ll understand the full development lifecycle and be equipped to take your ASP.NET Core applications from local build to live production environment smoothly and securely.
