LEARNING PATH: Modern Web Development with ASP.NET Core

The ability to develop web applications that are highly efficient and at the same time easy to maintain has become imperative to many businesses. ASP.NET Core is an open source framework from Microsoft, which makes it easy to build cross-platform web applications that are both modern and dynamic. So, if you’re a ASP.NET developer who wants to learn ASP.NET Core or a programmer who wants to become a full-stack .NET Core developer, then go for this Learning Path.
Packt’s Video Learning Path is a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that each video builds on the skills learned in the video before it.
The highlights of this Learning Path are:
With real-world use cases, learn to build robust web apps by understanding client and server side development using .NET Core
Understand how to test, deploy, and maintain your applications with .NET Core
Learn how to work with the microservice architecture using the .NET Core platform to build a distributed system
This Learning Path begins with setting up the ASP.NET Core environment and building the application structure. You will then explore the built-in features of the framework such as dependency injection, logging, and filters. You will also learn how to build and implement RESTful APIs into your application by creating HTTP requests using CURL and Postman.
Next, you will perform unit and integration testing to ensure that your application works properly and that the new changes in the application does not break the existing functionalities. You will then learn to create views that will interact with the API. You will also understand how to store data in the SQL server.
Moving ahead, this Learning Path teaches you everything you need to know to start developing distributed system using the microservice architecture. Next, you will gain in-depth knowledge of the services provided by the framework for building distributed applications. Finally, you will learn to use Docker and Docker Compose to pack your application into the container and deploy it to the virtual machine running on the cloud.
By the end of this Learning Path, you will have a strong understanding of the latest features of ASP.NET Core and will be able to develop, test, and deploy web applications using them.
