Description

Hello! My name is Shawn Wildermuth, and welcome to Building a Web App with ASP.NET Core, MVC, Entity Framework Core, Bootstrap, and Angular.

In this course, you will be building a website from scratch using the latest version of Microsoft's ASP.NET Core framework. You will get there by learning about major topics like explaining.NET Core, learning the basics of web technologies like HTML, JavaScript and CSS. You'll also be exploring technologies inside of ASP.NET Core like

  • Entity Framework Core
  • ASP.NET Identity
  • Building APIs with ASP.NET MVC
  • Deploying your app to the server or the cloud
In addition, you'll be building an Angular application to show you how to mix server and client-side development in ASP.NET Core.

By the end of this course, you will be able to build websites and APIs using ASP.NET Core.

Before you begin, make sure you are already familiar with C#. Exposure to Visual Studio would help too but is not required.

After this course, you'll have a very basic understanding of all the technologies used, but would benefit from moving on to more in-depth courses on Angular, API design, and web development. I hope you'll join me, and I look forward to helping you on your learning journey here at Pluralsight.

Course Overview
Hi, everyone. My name is Shawn Wildermuth, and welcome to my course, Building a Web App with ASP.NET Core, MVC, Entity Framework Core, Bootstrap, and Angular. I'm an author, speaker, and Microsoft MVP. I'm the author of over 20 courses here at Pluralsight, and I have been writing or teaching software development for over 30 years now. ASP.NET Core has matured from its initial version 1.0. If you have already worked with ASP.NET Core, they've made it a lot easier. If you're new to ASP.NET Core, this is a great time to learn this open source framework for Microsoft. In this course, we're going to build an entire web application from soup to nuts. We'll start with a complete blank slate and end up with a small but fully functional web application. Some of the major topics that we will cover include why ASP.NET Core is the better way to build web applications, creating web pages with ASP.NET MVC, building APIs with ASP.NET MVC, securing your pages and APIs with ASP.NET Identity, and using Angular for client‑side development. By the end of this course, you'll know how to build your own applications with ASP.NET Core. Before beginning this course, you should be familiar with Visual Studio. From here, you should feel comfortable diving into ASP.NET Core MVC with courses on Bootstrap 3, Angular 2, and deploying apps with Docker. I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn web development with the Building a Web App with ASP.NET Core, MVC, Entity Framework Core, Bootstrap, and Angular course, right here at Pluralsight.
