ASP.NET Core

You’ll begin by examining how ASP.NET Core projects are put together, including the relationship between the framework, development tools and application architecture. You will build a practical understanding of how a project is organised before adding features, helping you approach new codebases with more clarity and make informed choices when setting up development work. This supports faster onboarding and more consistent project delivery. 

Explore how ASP.NET Core supports distinct responsibilities across application behaviour, data and user-facing output. You will work with models, controllers, views and forms, looking at how each area contributes to the wider solution. This helps you create code that is easier to follow, review and adapt, particularly when several developers are contributing to the same application. The result is cleaner collaboration and lower maintenance effort.  

Understand how applications connect to data sources and internal services during this course. You will look at Entity Framework Core, database access, migrations and dependency injection, building a clearer view of how information and services move through an ASP.NET Core application. This supports better development decisions when applications need consistent data handling and flexible service configuration. It also helps reduce avoidable rework in data-led features. 

Develop the later-stage skills used to validate, protect and release ASP.NET Core applications. You will cover RESTful APIs, HTTP requests and responses, unit testing, authentication, authorisation, Identity, Windows security and deployment options including IIS and Azure. This gives you a practical view of how application functionality is checked, secured and prepared for use beyond development. This supports safer releases and stronger confidence in deployed applications.
