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.

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.
