Take advantage of the latest technologies to write fast, flexible and maintainable websites
The course is designed to explore all the latest happenings in the .NET world. If you use .NET, you'll probably know that Microsoft are currently offering two different ways to build web apps - MVC and Razor Pages. In addition, .NET has had a major uplift, currently known as Core. Core is the next generation of ASP.NET, and is a completely new web stack developed from the ground up.
As .NET MVC 5 and Entity Framework 6 are no longer being worked on, this course covers the new MVC Core and the new EF Core; plus the totally new Razor Pages (which appeared at Core 2.0).
Every .NET developer needs to learn these new technologies, how they work and what their strengths and weaknesses are.
Crucially, you'll also learn why Microsoft have made these dramatic changes - it's all about building .NET apps for Linux and iOS.
Descriptions
Who is this course for
The problem with MVC, EF, LINQ and Razor Pages is that they are all a bit fiddly to teach yourself. If you come on this course, we'll quickly take you through all the key points, background, tips, tricks and wrinkles that are so frustrating and slow to discover for yourself.
Purpose of the course
This course will help you get quickly up to speed with everything you need to create or maintain .NET web sites.
You will learn how to
- Identify what's changed between MVC 5 and MVC Core
- Use the new kid on the block - Razor Pages, and why you might and might not want to use them
- Understand what's changed in Entity Framework between EF6 and EF Core
Benefits for you as an individual
It's a no-brainer. If you're a .NET developer, you need to know about all the technologies listed above.
Benefits for your organisation
Writing web apps using these new techniques can be challenging. Asking your developers to learn on the job can be slow and costly. If you send your developers on this course, they will come back to work refreshed, enthused, and ready to hit the ground running.
