Class Central Tips
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to Microsoft Azure for ASP.NET Core developers, helping you navigate essential Azure services and tools. You'll start by exploring Azure’s virtual machines and portals, learning how to create, connect, and manage these environments using various methods like PowerShell, Bash scripting, and ARM templates. The course then delves into setting up Azure Web Apps, exploring its tools, services, and monitoring capabilities while deploying ASP.NET Core applications.
Next, you will dive deep into Azure databases, covering SQL and Cosmos DB. You'll master different hosting options for SQL and explore document creation and reading in Cosmos DB. Moving forward, you'll work with Azure Blob Storage, uploading and managing data securely. This course will also guide you through serverless architecture with Azure Functions, demonstrating how to build and publish serverless solutions using Azure Service Bus for scalable applications.
Finally, the course will teach you how to enhance application security using Azure Active Directory and B2C services. You will implement OAuth 2.0, set up authentication for ASP.NET Core apps, and secure APIs through Azure’s robust features. Each section concludes with a review, reinforcing the key concepts and practices learned.
This course is best suited for developers who want to understand Microsoft Azure and want to know how to integrate with Azure through code. You need some C#/.NET Core knowledge and an Azure account (or free trial account) to get along with this course. Some database knowledge is required but not mandatory. Having a foundation in ASP.NET Core development will come as a plus because we will be focusing less on the fundamentals.
