Overview

Learn how to build an Employee Leave Management System using ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework, Code-First and the Repository Pattern. This complete course will show you how to use Visual Studio, Microsoft SQL Server Express and explore dynamic web development with Bootstrap and JQuery and various front-end libraries.

ASP.NET Core is Microsoft’s modern, cross-platform framework for building enterprise ready web applications. In this course,  you will learn everything you need to know about building ASP.NET Core applications, from understanding the folder structure and files, to building a complete web application.

RECENT UPDATES

Since ASP.NET Core 6 became available with Visual Studio 2022, this course has been updated to use the technologies Visual Studio 2022 and .NET 6 in development.

Otherwise, everything in the project will work just the same if you are not inclined to upgrade, and I constantly highlight alternative code for .NET 5 and .NET Core 3.1 where applicable. .

NEXT STEPS

After you have learned the fundamentals of ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework, it is time to take you architectural skills to the next level. Enroll in ASP.NET Core – SOLID and Clean Architecture (.NET 5 and up) to learn how to rebuild this application using advanced architectural techniques.

Why Learn .NET Core

Microsoft .NET is the platform that drives the business technology of many of the top corporations in the United States and many other countries. It is the predominant technology used to drive enterprise-scale business technology. Companies have chosen .NET because for its proven scalability, reliability, and support.

The .NET language of choice to learn is C#, as it is among the most widely used languages today. It’s a general purpose programming language that can handle almost any problem, from desktop to mobile to dynamic web applications. As such, there is a high demand across the world for .NET developers in a variety of industries, so that means that more jobs are available for candidates with a foundation built upon .NET technologies.

Build A Strong Foundation in .NET Core Programming:

• Build a fully data driven web application using cutting edge technology
• Connect to a Database using Entity Framework Core
• Repository Pattern and Dependency Injection
• Understand how the MVC (Models, Views and Controllers) Pattern works
• Understand C# and .NET Core Web Syntax
• Understand user Authentication using ASP.NET Core Identity
• Understand how to use Entity Framework Core Data Models, View Models and AutoMapper

• Publish .NET Core Application to Microsoft Azure App Services
• Implement Email Services

Content and Overview

To take this course, you will need to have some knowledge of Object Oriented Programming, if not C#. Even if you do not have much exposure to the .NET development stack, this course is very beginner friendly and chock full of development tips.

This is a huge course. Over 15 hours of premium content, but smartly broken up to highlight a set of related activities based on each module in the application that is being built. We will also look at troubleshooting and debugging errors as we go along; implementing best practices; writing efficient logic and understanding why developers do things the way they do. Your knowledge will grow, step by step, throughout the course and you will be challenged to be the best you can be.

By the time you have finished the course you will have moved around in Visual Studio and examined logic and syntax errors so much, that it will be second nature for you when working in the .NET environment. This will put your new learned skills into practical use and impress your boss and coworkers.

The course is complete with working files hosted on GitHub, with the inclusion of some files to make it easier for you to replicate the code being demonstrated. You will be able to work alongside the author as you work through each lecture and will receive a verifiable certificate of completion upon finishing the course.
