Build A Full-Stack .Net Blazor Application - Using Just C#

Using .NET Blazor and Entity Framework Core to Build an Application With C#

What you'll learn

Gain Familiarity with the .NET Blazor Architecture and Routing Mechanism

Learn How to Create .NET Blazor Pages and Components

Learn How to Use a Public API to Retrieve and Map Useful Data

Learn How to Create and Use a SQL Database Using Entity Framework Core with Code-First Approach

Requirements

Programming experience with C# is needed, and experience with the Visual Studio IDE is preferred

Description

This course walks you through the development of an application using a three-tiered architecture, with .NET Blazor on the front end, and Entity Framework Core and public API's on the backend to view and filter compelling content from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  You will develop the course entirely in Visual Studio 2022 (Community Edition), a free IDE from Microsoft.   You will use C#, .NET Blazor, the Blazorise component library, Bootstrap, Postman (API Testing), and Entity Framework Core to build the application - without the use of Javascript or SQL.The software architecture of a .NET Blazor application is explained, as is the routing mechanism that Blazor uses.   You will use dependency injection to make software services available to Blazor pages and components.You will also use the 'code first' approach to database generation, instead of composing your database yourself with SQL.  The course provides an introduction to Blazorise - an open-source library of Blazor controls which includes data grid and select list controls.The course also includes guidance on how to deploy a .NET Blazor application to a public hosting service.By the conclusion of the course, you will have a fundamental understanding of the building blocks needed to create a full-stack .NET application using .NET Blazor.
