Master essential data management techniques and leverage powerful .NET libraries to build robust, efficient applications. This course empowers experienced developers to handle both relational and NoSQL data while enhancing productivity with popular third-party libraries.
Explore the foundations of modern .NET application development by learning how to manage relational data with SQL Server and Entity Framework Core, as well as NoSQL data using Azure Cosmos DB. Delve into multitasking and concurrency to improve application performance, and discover how to integrate widely-used third-party libraries for tasks such as logging, mapping, and validation. By the end of this course, you will be equipped to build scalable, maintainable, and high-performing .NET applications. This course combines clear explanations with practical demonstrations, guiding learners through real-world scenarios and best practices for data management and library integration in .NET. Learners will deepen their understanding through a mix of conceptual overviews and applied examples. This course is part one of a three-course Specialization designed to build a complete and cohesive understanding of the subject. While it offers valuable skills on its own, you'll gain the most benefit by progressing through all three courses as a structured learning journey.
