Build practical back-end development skills with .NET and learn how to create secure, scalable, and high-performing APIs for modern applications. This Professional Certificate helps you understand the complete API development lifecycle—from building APIs with ASP.NET Core to implementing authentication, improving performance, and scaling applications for real-world use cases. You’ll start by learning .NET architecture, C# fundamentals, API routing, dependency injection, middleware, serialization, and OpenAPI integration. As you progress, you’ll develop skills in authentication and authorization using ASP.NET Identity, JSON Web Tokens (JWT), role-based access control, encryption, and secure data handling practices. The program also introduces performance optimization concepts including caching strategies, database query optimization, distributed systems, load balancing, and scalable application architecture. Throughout the certificate, you’ll use Microsoft Copilot to accelerate coding, debugging, optimization, and secure development workflows. By the end of the program, you’ll be able to develop and secure APIs, optimize application performance, implement scalable architectures, and apply modern development practices used by back-end engineers. This program is designed for aspiring back-end developers, software engineers, and learners interested in API development and application security. No prior programming experience is required.

I liked this course really much , it have best foundation, its more practically than theoratically which help you to boost the skills.

the videos duration are too long, if i want to watch long videos then i can just watch random tutorials on youtube. i was expecting the fundamentals, staright to the point explanation with it's best practice, not 18 min videos implementing the code with unclear explanation. the long duration videos should be replaced with labs or activity on our local machine.
Guided labs are awful with a lot of syntax mistakes. Too many repetitions, for instance, it's a bit annoying to watch 20 min how coach do the task, then do exactly the same in guided lab and then doing the same in regular lab.
This course was very useful and strongly focused on practical application. It helped me understand how to build APIs using ASP.NET Core in a clear and hands-on way. The practical exercises and the use of tools like Copilot improved my coding and debugging skills and made it easier to connect theory with real implementation. Overall, the course was well-structured and provided a valuable learning experience.

good knowledge as introductory development.
Perfect course and start up for beginners
It is a highly informative course.
It was useful course for me
Such a great course ever!
Excellent Course
GOOD FOR US
Buen curso

A good course for learning backend through .NET
It is clear and well explained.
There are few mistakes... It makes the course bad for beginners
The grading system for this course is frustratingly slow and inefficient. It makes no sense that students are held back for days just waiting for someone to review their submission. Microsoft and Coursera need to fix this peer review bottleneck immediately or switch to automated grading. This waiting experience is awful.
