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 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 learning how to become a full-stack .NET developer, 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.
