.NET Musings

I teach two in-depth .NET courses every year—one in July and another in December. This upcoming session is a 4-day, hands-on lab where you'll build a complete data access layer using Entity Framework Core 9, create two web applications (one with Razor Pages and the other with MVC), develop a RESTful service, and finish off with a single-page app (SPA) using Blazor WASM.

Days 2-3: ASP.NET Core

• Razor Pages, MVC, and RESTful Services
