- 1. Introduction to .NET Comprehensive Guide to the .NET Framework InfiniteWebSolutions 1
- 2. What is .NET? Definition: A free, cross-platform, open-source developer platform for building many different types of applications. History and development: • Initially released by Microsoft in 2002 as the .NET Framework. • Evolved to .NET Core, a cross-platform framework, and now unified under .NET 5 and later versions. Key features: Language interoperability, high performance, vast ecosystem. InfiniteWebSolutions 2
- 4. .NET Core vs .NET Framework • .NET Core is cross-platform, .NET Framework is Windows-only. • Advantages of .NET Core: Better performance, modularity, and support for microservices. • When to use each: .NET Core for new projects and cross-platform needs, .NET Framework for legacy systems.

- 5. Installing .NET System requirements: • Supported operating systems and hardware. Installation steps on different platforms: • Windows: Use Visual Studio Installer. • macOS: Download and install .NET SDK. • Linux: Use package managers like apt or yum. Initial configuration: • Set up environment variables, verify installation. InfiniteWebSolutions 5
- 6. Visual Studio Overview Introduction to Visual Studio: • An integrated development environment (IDE) from Microsoft. Installing Visual Studio: • Download from the official website, choose workloads. Basic features and navigation: • Solution Explorer, code editor, debugging tools. InfiniteWebSolutions 6
- 7. Creating a .NET Project Setting up a new .NET project: • Choose a project template, configure settings. Project templates: • Console App, Web App, Class Library, etc. Solution Explorer: • Manages project files, references, and configurations. InfiniteWebSolutions 7
- 8. C# Programming Basics Overview of C#: • A modern, object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft. Basic syntax and data types: • Variables, data types (int, string, bool, etc.), operators. Control structures: • Conditional statements (if, switch), loops (for, while, foreach). InfiniteWebSolutions 8
- 9. Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Classes and objects: • Define classes, create objects, access members. Inheritance and polymorphism: • Inherit from base classes, override methods, implement interfaces. Interfaces and abstract classes: • Define contracts, provide base implementation. InfiniteWebSolutions 9
- 10. Exception Handling Mechanism for handling runtime errors. Try-catch blocks: • Structure for catching and handling exceptions. Custom exceptions: • Define custom exception classes for specific error scenarios. InfiniteWebSolutions 10
- 11. Working with Data Introduction to ADO.NET: • A data access technology for .NET. Connecting to a database: • Use connection strings, establish connections. Performing CRUD operations: • Create, Read, Update, Delete operations using commands and data readers. InfiniteWebSolutions 11
- 12. Entity Framework Overview of Entity Framework: • An ORM (Object-Relational Mapper) for .NET. Code-first and database-first approaches: • Code-first: Define models in code, generate database schema. • Database-first: Generate models from existing database. LINQ queries: • Language Integrated Query for querying data in a type- safe manner. InfiniteWebSolutions 12
- 13. ASP.NET Core Introduction to ASP.NET Core: • A cross-platform, high-performance framework for building modern web applications. Setting up a web application: • Create a new project, configure startup settings. MVC pattern: • Model-View-Controller architecture for separation of concerns. InfiniteWebSolutions 13
- 14. Web API Development Creating a Web API: • Set up controllers, define routes. Routing and controllers: • Map HTTP requests to controller actions. Consuming Web APIs: • Use HttpClient to make requests, handle responses. InfiniteWebSolutions 14
- 15. Deployment Deploying .NET applications: • Package applications for deployment. Hosting options: • Azure, AWS, on-premises servers. CI/CD pipelines: • Automate build, test, and deployment processes. InfiniteWebSolutions 15
- 16. Security in .NET Authentication and authorization: • Implement user authentication, role-based access control. Secure coding practices: • Validate input, avoid common vulnerabilities. Data protection: • Encrypt sensitive data, use secure protocols. InfiniteWebSolutions 16
- 17. Performance Tuning Analyzing performance: • Identify performance bottlenecks using profiling tools. Profiling tools: • Visual Studio Profiler, dotTrace, etc. Optimization techniques: • Optimize code, use caching, improve database queries. InfiniteWebSolutions 17
- 18. Case Study A real-world example of .NET implementation: • Description of the project. Challenges faced: • Specific challenges encountered during development. Solutions: • How the challenges were addressed and resolved. InfiniteWebSolutions 18
- 19. Best Practices • Code organization, use of design patterns, testing. • Utilize tools and libraries, follow coding standards, perform code reviews. InfiniteWebSolutions 19
