About This League

ASP.NET Core is a modern, cross-platform framework for building web applications and APIs. This league provides a comprehensive introduction to its core features, enabling students to develop robust backend solutions. It covers essential concepts from environment setup to advanced API building for placement readiness.

What you will learn

Upon completing this league, you will be able to:

  • Develop dynamic web applications and APIs using C# and ASP.NET Core, handling user input and data presentation effectively.
  • Implement data persistence and retrieval strategies with Entity Framework Core, including database migrations and CRUD operations.
  • Secure your applications by integrating ASP.NET Core Identity for user authentication and authorization.
  • Configure application settings and leverage Dependency Injection for efficient and maintainable code.
  • Understand and implement the request lifecycle, routing mechanisms, and middleware pipelines within ASP.NET Core.
  • Build and test basic Web APIs capable of returning JSON data and handling various HTTP requests.

What this league covers

ModuleWhat it covers
Foundation: Setting Up Your ASP.NET Core EnvironmentInstall the.NET SDK and VS Code, create your first project, understand its structure, and learn to run and debug applications using the CLI.
Core Concepts: Request Lifecycle and MiddlewareExplore the ASP.NET Core request pipeline, configure middleware components, and understand built-in middleware for static files, routing, and error handling.
Routing: Directing Traffic to Your CodeImplement convention-based and attribute-based routing, handle route parameters, constraints, and generate URLs effectively.
Controllers: Handling User InputCreate controller actions, pass data using route and query parameters, handle different HTTP verbs, and return appropriate HTTP status codes.
Razor Views: Presenting Data to UsersUtilize Razor syntax to create views, pass data from controllers, work with layouts and partials, and display lists using HTML Helpers.
Model Binding: Getting Data from the ClientUnderstand how model binding works, bind data from form submissions, route and query strings, and customize binding for complex types.
Validation: Ensuring Data IntegrityImplement server-side and client-side validation using Data Annotations, custom attributes, and display validation errors in views.
Working with Data: Intro to Entity Framework CoreLearn Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) with Entity Framework Core, define data models, create DbContext, manage migrations, and perform basic CRUD operations.
Security Fundamentals: Authentication and AuthorizationUnderstand authentication vs. authorization, configure ASP.NET Core Identity for user registration, login, and implement role-based authorization.
Configuration and Dependency InjectionManage application configuration using appsettings.json and access configuration values, understanding and implementing Dependency Injection.
Building APIs: Introduction to Web APICreate API controllers, return JSON data, handle HTTP POST requests for APIs, and understand API routing conventions for basic API testing.

Build your foundational skills for backend development and API creation.

Prerequisites

  • Comfortable writing C#.
  • Understand HTTP requests, status codes and JSON.
  • Able to write basic SELECT queries against a relational database.

Learning Objectives

  • Implement and critically evaluate advanced asynchronous programming patterns (e.g., Task Parallel Library, async streams) within ASP.NET Core applications to optimize performance and responsiveness for high-throughput scenarios.
  • Design, develop, and deploy resilient ASP.NET Core microservices leveraging patterns like CQRS, Event Sourcing, and Saga orchestration, ensuring fault tolerance and scalability.
  • Analyze and optimize the performance of complex ASP.NET Core applications by profiling middleware, database interactions, and caching strategies, implementing advanced techniques such as in-memory caching, distributed caching (e.g., Redis), and query optimization.
  • Securely implement advanced authentication and authorization mechanisms in ASP.NET Core, including custom identity providers, OAuth 2.0/OpenID Connect flows, and fine-grained authorization policies, while adhering to industry best practices for threat mitigation.
  • Architect and build scalable data access layers for ASP.NET Core applications using Entity Framework Core, implementing advanced features like change tracking strategies, complex query execution, and efficient data retrieval for large datasets.
  • Integrate and manage background processing and scheduled tasks within ASP.NET Core applications using services like Hangfire or Quartz.NET, effectively handling long-running operations and ensuring reliable execution.
