This module introduces essential .NET types for handling text, numbers, and collections, emphasizing efficient data manipulation and performance optimization. Learners will explore advanced features such as spans, ranges, and tensors, as well as best practices for string operations and collection management. Practical examples include generating GUIDs, improving regular expression performance, and initializing collections with modern C# syntax.

This module introduces essential techniques for handling files, streams, and data serialization in .NET applications. Learners will explore file management, efficient use of streams, and methods for serializing and deserializing data using XML and JSON formats. Practical guidance on resource management and text encoding is also provided to ensure robust data handling.

This module guides learners through integrating Entity Framework Core into .NET projects for effective data management with relational databases. You will practice setting up EF Core, defining and scaffolding models, and querying data using LINQ, while also exploring how EF Core translates queries into SQL. By the end, you'll be able to build and interact with data models in a real-world database context.

This module introduces learners to the fundamentals of LINQ for querying and manipulating data sequences in .NET. You will explore key LINQ extension methods for filtering, sorting, projecting, joining, and grouping data, as well as best practices for integrating LINQ with EF Core. Practical examples and exercises will help you master efficient data handling and transformation techniques.
