Sinopsis

For any .NET developer or C# programmer looking to build reliable, modern web applications using the latest advancements in the .NET platform, this book is an absolute must-have. Through practical scenarios, this book provides clear, step-by-step guidance, covering everything from the fundamentals of C# and .NET 9 to robust backend services and responsive desktop clients.

As you read, you will learn to set up development environment on Windows, build console applications, and advance to ASP.NET Core Web APIs. The book uses real-world examples to illuminate every concept, so you can learn debugging, troubleshooting, and the principles behind well-structured code. You will learn to work with SQL Server Express and integrate database operations seamlessly using Entity Framework Core. It also thoroughly covers the design of RESTful web APIs, dependency injection, and decoupled architectures, as well as the essentials of MVVM and WPF for creating user-friendly desktop clients. With each step, you will connect these clients to your Web API, manage data exchanges, handle errors, and implement essential features such as logging and health checks.
