Creating .NET 6 Applications Using Cross-platform Tooling
In the new technology landscape, a .NET Core developer cannot afford to be bound to a single platform. This course will teach you the ins and outs of writing code that can run just about anywhere.
What you'll learn
Platform independence is one of the great strengths of .NET technologies. Knowing how to leverage this capability is a key skill any developer working today should possess. In this course, Creating .NET 6 Applications Using Cross-platform Tooling, you’ll learn how to effectively write code that can run almost anywhere. First, you’ll explore the different cross-platform options that .NET makes available to you. Next, you’ll discover how to write cross-platform code and work with Docker for even more portability. Finally, you’ll learn how to get your .NET Core code working with edge platforms like IoT devices and Arduino. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of platform-portable development needed to get your code working anywhere.
