.NET & .NET Core Mastery: Cross-Platform Development

Do you know that the demand for cross-platform development is skyrocketing? More companies are looking for solutions that can run on Windows, macOS, and Linux without rewriting code for every platform. And you’re about to unlock the skills to make that happen! In this course, you'll master cross-platform development using .NET Core, learning how to build applications that run seamlessly across Windows, macOS, and Linux. We’ll explore containerization with Docker, optimize performance, and leverage .NET MAUI to create native mobile and desktop apps with a single codebase. This course is specifically designed for .NET developers who are eager to leverage the full potential of cross-platform development with .NET Core. It caters to professionals who want to modernize their skill set and build applications that are not limited to a single operating system. Whether you're a developer transitioning from the traditional .NET Framework or someone already familiar with .NET Core, this course provides practical knowledge to help you develop, deploy, and scale applications across Windows, macOS, Linux, and even in cloud environments. To get the most out of this course, learners should possess a basic understanding of the C# programming language and be familiar with the general concepts and structure of the .NET development ecosystem. Prior experience building simple .NET applications—such as console apps or web projects—will provide a useful foundation for exploring the more advanced features of .NET Core. While the course will guide you through environment setup and key development tools, a working knowledge of object-oriented programming and basic debugging skills will help accelerate your learning experience and allow you to confidently complete the hands-on exercises and projects. By the end of this course, learners will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to build modern, cross-platform applications using .NET Core. They will explore its most powerful features, understand how to create applications that run smoothly across different operating systems, and learn containerization techniques using Docker for scalable deployment. Additionally, learners will dive into mobile and web application development using Blazor WebAssembly and .NET MAUI, enabling them to write applications with a shared codebase for multiple platforms. With a focus on real-world development workflows, the course empowers learners to create efficient, responsive, and high-performance software that meets modern business and user demands.
