4-Day Hands-On Training Seminar: Full Stack Hands-On Development With .NET (Core)
December 10-13, 2024
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.

With the Data Access Layer in place, it’s time to choose your next adventure. The labs cover building ASP.NET Core Web Applications using the Model View Controller (MVC) pattern as well as Razor Pages. While building these web applications, we will use all of the new features in ASP.NET Core, including the enhanced configuration system and environmental awareness, dependency injection, routing, tag helpers (and custom tag helpers), display and editor templates, view components, and more. Both applications present the same UI, giving you experience in the similarities and differences between MVC and Razor Pages.

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 versioning and documentation using Open API, as well as the enhanced configuration system and environmental awareness, dependency injection, routing, and more.

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

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 all that there is to know when using the .NET stack to build web applications.

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. Details of prerequisites will be sent out before the start of the class.
