VSLive! 4-Day Hands-On Training Seminar Immersive .NET Full Stack Training: 4-Day Hands-On Experience

Join us for an immersive 4-day hands-on workshop where we will explore the full power of Microsoft's open-source development platform, .NET (formerly .NET Core). In this intensive session, you'll build end-to-end applications using the entire .NET stack, including Entity Framework (EF) Core, ASP.NET Core MVC, Razor Pages, RESTful services, and Blazor.

Day 1
We'll start by creating a data access layer (DAL) with EF Core and SQL Server, harnessing features like code-first migrations, global query filters, paging, dynamic query generation with LINQ, repository patterns, and integration testing.

Day 2
We’ll build on from Day 1 and you'll choose your path: building web applications with either ASP.NET Core MVC or Razor Pages. Both approaches will use the latest ASP.NET Core features, such as advanced configuration, environmental awareness, dependency injection, routing, tag helpers, and more. By constructing both MVC and Razor Pages applications with the same UI, you'll gain a clear understanding of their similarities and differences.

Day 3
We'll develop a RESTful API that encapsulates the DAL, providing CRUD functionality in a technology-agnostic manner. This API will leverage ASP.NET Core capabilities like versioning, Open API documentation, advanced configuration, dependency injection, and routing.

After creating the API, you'll update the MVC and Razor Pages applications to use the RESTful service for data access, creating a more scalable architecture.

Day 4
Finally, you'll build a single-page application with Blazor WebAssembly, using the API for data access and showcasing how ASP.NET Core can be used to create modern client applications using C#.

By the end of this workshop, you'll learn how to:

• Build a data access layer with Entity Framework Core and SQL Server
• Develop ASP.NET Core RESTful services
• Create web applications using ASP.NET Core MVC and Razor Pages
• Build single-page applications using Blazor WebAssembly

In short, you'll gain comprehensive knowledge of the entire .NET stack for building robust web applications.
