Dot Development

What is .NET Development?

.NET Development involves building secure, scalable applications using Microsoft’s .NET framework—ranging from desktop software to dynamic web apps and APIs.

This hands-on course takes you from C# basics to full-stack development with ASP.NET Core. You’ll learn coding best practices, database integration, UI design, and app deployment.

By the end, you'll be ready to build real-world applications and kickstart your career or freelance journey in software development.

Course Outline- .Net Development

Month 1: C# and .NET Fundamentals

• Introduction to the .NET Framework and setting up the development environment (Visual Studio, .NET SDK)

• Basic C# syntax, data types, variables, and type conversions

• Control structures and looping in C# (if-else, switch, for, while)

• Arrays and collections (List, Dictionary, multi-dimensional arrays)

• Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in C# – classes, objects, encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism

Month 2: Intermediate C# and Data Access

• Advanced data types, generics, dictionaries, and LINQ (Language Integrated Query)

• Delegates, events, multithreading, async/await, and synchronization

• Database programming using ADO.NET – connecting, querying, and handling data

• Entity Framework – ORM concepts, querying databases, and handling relationships

• Building desktop applications with Windows Forms or WPF – UI design, data binding, and event handling

Month 3: Web Development with ASP.NET

• Web development using ASP.NET (MVC or Web Forms) – routing, MVC architecture, and page handling

• ASP.NET Core – middleware, routing, MVC pattern, authentication, and authorization

• Building RESTful APIs with ASP.NET Web API – HTTP handling, security, and documentation

• Introduction to Blazor (WebAssembly and Server) – building interactive UIs and component-based development

• Testing and debugging in .NET – unit testing, TDD, debugging tools, and performance profiling

Month 4: Advanced C# Concepts and Design Patterns

• Advanced C# features – Reflection, Attributes, file I/O, serialization, and exception handling

• Design Patterns in .NET:

• Creational – Factory, Singleton

• Structural – Adapter, Decorator

• Behavioral – Observer, Strategy

• Implementing ASP.NET Core Identity – user authentication, roles, securing APIs, and social logins
  
  

Month 5: Deployment, Cloud, and Cross-Platform Development

• Building scalable and performant web applications – caching, session management, load testing

• Deploying and hosting .NET applications – CI/CD, Azure, IIS, and diagnostics

• (Optional) Cross-platform mobile development with Xamarin – UI with XAML, device access, testing, and publishing
  
  

• (Optional) Introduction to Azure and cloud computing – app services, Azure Functions, storage, and serverless computing

• (Optional) Cloud-native applications – microservices, containers, Kubernetes, and DevOps in the cloud
  
  

Month 6: Security, Optimization, and Advanced Topics

• Security in .NET – threats, authentication, data protection, cryptography, and secure coding practices

• Performance optimization and tuning – profiling, memory and code optimization, database performance

• Error handling and logging – logging frameworks, crash analysis, monitoring, and alerting
  
  

• Working with third-party APIs and libraries – REST API consumption, NuGet packages, SDK integration

• Advanced topics – parallel programming with TPL, memory management, performance counters, and diagnostics
