Description

Hello! Have you ever to learn a systematic approach to build applications, or maybe more you just want to strengthen your front-end and/or back-end development skills? My name is Mosh Hamedani, and in my Pluralsight course Become a Full-stack .NET Developer, you’re going to you learn how to do just that. You’ll focus on ASP.NET MVC, Web API, Entity Framework Code First, Bootstrap3, HTML5, and CSS3, and learn about things like starting with a plain requirements document, breaking it down into tasks, and building the entire application end-to-end in an agile way. Before you begin, though, make sure you’re already familiar with the basics of ASP.NET MVC 5 and Entity Framework 6, as this course doesn’t teach the fundamentals of these frameworks.

The demand for full-stack developers who are comfortable with both front-end and back-end development is increasing constantly, and in fact some companies only hire full-stack developers. In this course, you're going to learn the core front-end and back-end skills that every full-stack. NET developer must know. Some of the major topics that we'll cover include building beautiful user interfaces, building back-end APIs, object-oriented programming, clean architecture, and automated testing, and you're going to learn all these in the context of a real world application. So if you have always wanted to see how professional developers start from a requirements document and deliver working software with clean code, clean architecture, and automated tests, this is the course for you. This course comes in three parts. The focus of the first part is on the fundamentals of full-stack development. So, by the end of this part you'll be able to get the requirements document for your next project, extract the core use cases that have the most impact on the design and architecture of your application, and implement them end to end in a systematic way. Before beginning the course, you should be familiar with ASP. NET MVC 5 and Entity Framework 6. I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn full-stack development with Become a Full-Stack.
