Mastering C# and .NET Development

This Specialization takes you from writing your first line of C# to deploying a containerized .NET application on Microsoft Azure. You build language skills, web framework skills, and cloud delivery skills. Each concept is reinforced through step-by-step hands-on demonstrations that you can follow along on your own setup, pause, replicate, and practice at your own pace. By the end of this Specialization, you will be able to: ● Write object-oriented C# using classes, collections, LINQ, and asynchronous methods. ● Build and secure REST APIs with ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework Core, and PostgreSQL. ● Develop interactive web interfaces with Blazor components, forms, and routing. ● Containerize and deploy .NET applications to Azure with Docker and GitHub Actions. This Specialization is designed for a diverse audience: aspiring .NET developers, backend and full stack engineers, developers moving to C# from Java, Python, or JavaScript, and .NET Framework developers modernizing to current .NET. Basic programming knowledge is recommended. No prior C#, .NET, Docker, or Azure experience is required. Build the C# and .NET skills behind enterprise backends and cloud services, and finish with a deployed application you can show.
