.NET Core is a modular cross-platform and open source implementation of .NET. With the latest release of .NET Core, many more APIs are expected to be built, which will make APIs consistent across .NET Framework, .NET Core, and Xamarin.
This course begins with a brief introduction to the latest features of C# 7 and .NET Core 2.0, before moving on to explain how C# 7 can be implemented using the object-oriented paradigm. Next, you’ll discover the technique of working with relational data using Entity Framework, in addition to understanding how to use ASP.NET Core in a practical way. The later chapters will then help you get up to speed with creating cross-platform applications and adding real-time functionality to your apps using SignalR. After this, you’ll go on to explore the various features of MongoDB and use them in your applications. You’ll also learn about serverless computing and OAuth concepts, and understand how to run ASP.NET Core applications with Docker Compose to design high-quality applications.
By the end of this project-based course, you’ll be proficient in developing applications using .NET Core 2.0.
