.NET Framework - 3 hrs 34 min

.NET Framework 4.5.1, Part 1 of 3: Overview

Course Duration - 1 hr 23 min

.NET is a Framework from Microsoft, introduced in 2001 that makes it easier to build applications that cross platforms and hardware. It does this by providing a consistent and powerful set of classes and interfaces that abstract away differences of architecture and allow developers to use the right languages and tools that work for them. A large base class library that includes features such as data and file access, user interface features, cryptography and more, opens up the power of the Windows operating system. The applications are run in a safe runtime engine called the CLR, which handles security, memory management, exception handling and more. In this course we will take a look at how the .NET framework is built and what you need to know to make the most of it.

.NET Framework 4.5.1, Part 2 of 3: One ASP.NET

Course Duration - 1 hr 15 min

Microsoft introduced ASP.NET as a way to organize and write web applications and services using the .NET framework. Originally released with the WebForms pattern, which takes a control based drag and drop approach to designing a web page, it has since included many new technologies like MVC which support scaffolding, and WebAPI to handle RESTful requests. While these new technologies are quite powerful and deliver new ways of writing code, the challenge has been how to integrate them and build one solution. With that in mind, in .NET 4.5.1 and Visual Studio 2013 Microsoft has been pushing a new unified template for web projects called OneASP.NET. With this new template developers can create web solutions that start with WebForms, but include MVC features. Or a WebAPI site that adds WebForms. Additionally, there is a new identity story that simplifies and modernizes how we handle authentication and profile data. Developers now have the choice of whether to use public identity like twitter or facebook, or use Active Directory, in addition to the old standbys. Lets dive into what's new for web developers with an overview of ASP.NET.

.NET Framework 4.5.1, Part 3 of 3: Building on Windows

Course Duration - 56 min

Beginning Modern C# and .NET Development

Course Duration - 6 hrs 12 min

The course will initially begin with familiarizing you to the different .NET technologies and Visual Studio 2017.

C# provides a number of methods for making decisions as code executes. You can branch execution of your code based on conditions you define—anything from a simple check on the value of a variable to the value of a complex expression that you create—with if and switch statements. Another common technique is to execute one block of code over and over again until some condition is met, which can be accomplished with the various kinds of loops provided by C#. Finally, C# supports jumping to locations in code outside of the normal sequential order of statements. You’ll even learn some narrow and specific uses for the much-maligned goto operator.

Programming C# 6, Part 08 of 12: Objects and Classes

Course Duration - 1 hr 35 min

Classes are one of the fundamental concepts of C# application development, because you’ll often need to work with more complex data than C#’s base data types. Classes serve as a blueprint or design: they can’t be used directly as components of an application, but you can use them to create objects whose form and behavior you control. In this course, you’ll learn about classes and objects in C#, and then learn how to create your own classes, how to declare and define them, how to use them to store data, and how to imbue them with behaviors.
