Database Management and Core Application Development

This course offers a comprehensive guide to database management and core application development using ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework. You’ll learn to set up and manage databases, implement key design patterns, and build robust web applications. By the end of the course, you’ll have practical experience in database setup, migration handling, CRUD operations, and more. The course begins by introducing you to Entity Framework Core and database management, covering database setup, migrations, and data seeding. You’ll explore Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code integration, understand connection strings, and learn how to work with migrations to update the database schema. Additionally, you’ll set up Microsoft SQL Server using Docker and explore best practices in managing EF Core databases.

You will then dive into core application development by building modules such as Leave Type Management, where you’ll implement CRUD functionality, understand asynchronous programming, and work with dependency injection. You’ll also learn how to scaffold views, implement user input validation, and manage the frontend design. This section will help you develop the full stack skills needed for web application development. Familiarity with basic web development concepts and C# is recommended. This course is perfect for developers looking to expand their knowledge of web development with ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework, particularly those with a foundation in C# and basic web development.
