asp.net core growth

Question

Hi, guys! What are the technologies needed to study to be qualified asp.net core developer? Thanks.

Answer 1

This is a really vague question as we have no idea what you already know.

Do you know C#? If not then learn it first.

Have you ever written a web app before? If not then you should learn the basics of HTML, CSS and building web apps. Mozilla Developer Network has a good set of docs.

Are you building an MVC, Razor Page, Blazor or client-side app (Angular, React, Vue, etc)? MVC/Razor Pages is ASP.NET Core. For client side apps you'll need to go to their tutorial sites.

Do you have any ASP.NET experience? If so then refer to the migration documents for ASP.NET Core.

In all cases Microsoft Learn is a good, free starting point. PluralSight is good if you have a subscription. Googling for tutorials and examples is how I personally prefer to learn.

To learn Asp.net core, the basic knowledge of C#, HTML, Visual Studio, and Object Oriented Programming is required.

Then, you can refer the Asp.net Core Overview document to lean what is Asp.net Core and why choose ASP.NET Core?

After that, you can learn the ASP.NET Core fundamentals for understanding the fundamentals.

And then, you can refer the Tutorial to learn how to create asp.net core web apps:

When you develop an application, you might need to debug your application, in this scenario, you can refer Debug ASP.NET or ASP.NET Core apps in Visual Studio

After developed the application, you can refer this article to Host and deploy ASP.NET Core Application.

If you know C# then you can easily start ASP.NET core (plus Framework) easily.
Generally

• C# Language, with HTML and CSS basic
• OOP Concept
• MVC Concept
  With these, you can start learning. You can find tons of articles and videos on YouTube to start.
  Even if you are beginners, you can start learning with basic and go for advance topics like Dependency Injection, Unit Test, SignalR and so on.
