"The course was a great match! Dominic is a very good teacher who explains this subject in a fun and engaging manner." - Risto

"As a seasoned programmer looking to refresh my knowledge in C#, this walkthrough was very clear and concise. I could have been a complete beginner and still understood." - Max

"The knowledge gained from this course is very valuable. The pacing is great and the explanations are very clear. I think the most important thing about this course is the instructor - he has such good energy, keeping you engaged." - Chris

Learning Paths:

There are 3 different Modular pieces of this course that can be mixed and matched to fit your learning needs, depending on what you already know and what you want to learn.

1. C# Basics (and general programming basics)

2. .NET Core 8 API Development

3. MS SQL Server and Azure SQL

If you are new to programming, or just new to C#, you can get an in depth understanding of basic programming concepts like variable types, data structures, classes and methods in our C# Basics section.

If you already know C# that's great, you can skip over that basics section and start learning how to build powerful REST APIs with .NET Core.

If you already build REST APIs with .NET Core and just want to write cleaner code, learn how to decouple logic, or consolidate endpoints with more dynamic logic - I highly recommend starting with the SQL section, brushing up on Dapper in the Crash course section if you need to, and then checking out the advanced section of the course.

(If that sounds complicated and confusing, it won't at all by the time you are done with the course)

This course is also set up so that the SQL section is entirely optional, although I do think it is very useful and I highly recommend it. As much as I think you would benefit from learning SQL along with C#, I do understand that building REST APIs and writing SQL are two different skills.

If you just want to focus on the API development side of the course, I am happy to be your personal SQL Developer on the side by providing a few scripts you can just drop into Azure Data Studio to get things set up for you in the database, so that you can go through the entire .NET Core part of the course without missing a beat.

If you are new to software development, congratulations on starting your journey to become a developer! I look forward to seeing you inside!

"Tried many courses, but I used to get bored/stuck or just had partial understanding. This is one of the best courses. Will recommend this course for anyone learning .NET API development. Using Visual Studio Code, instead of visual studio helped me understand some thing I took for granted and never learned in VS. Also love the fact that you had C# and SQL sections. It was useful for me."

"I have gone through about 10 courses on Udemy before this one and I found Dominics course on C# .NET Core to be the best I have gone through yet. It is extensive with many exercises. Dominic while never really holding your hand follows you through the course and explain his design choices and methods so you can understand what you are doing. You will learn a lot from C# fundamentals, MVC design schemes, MS SQL servers, SQL Query Language, Azure. Take your time. It will be well worth it. I recommend this course highly."

"This is a very in depth course which presented me with many challenges. I have about 1/3rd left to go at this point and usually I like to wait until I've completed things before leaving a review. That said, I decided to just do it now. Dominic's support in answering questions and offering solutions to problems throughout the entirety of this course was amazing. I can't tell you how many courses I've bought to find out there is a dead community, no one to go to with problems, and outdated lectures or assignments that haven't been kept up with. There is none of that here and I greatly appreciate it!"

"My Udemy library is a lot like my Steam library. I've got a lot of courses in there but not many that I've completed. This is one of the few that I've actually finished, and genuinely enjoyed. I knew a little C# going in, and I've done a fair amount of work with SQL in terms of data analysis, but the application layer and dotnet was something of a mystery to me so I wanted to learn more about that. The pace is really good, the delivery is really good and I've really learned a lot. Definitely have the confidence to start expanding out of my comfort zone and experiment with some new projects."
- Lisa

"It's been an amazing journey so far, well thought off, clear, simple, and on point. I've been struggling to understand this whole backend concept for about a year now, on and off with different courses until I started your course. You made it so much easier. you are awesome Dominic Tripodi. I will definitely purchase more courses from you"
- Holliday

"I am Japanese. I took a lecture using the translation function. The video was very easy to understand. Even if there was something I didn't understand, when I asked a question, the instructor gave me an answer immediately. If you are lost in the .net lecture, I recommend it."
