Fundamentals:

• MVC pattern with advanced routing, custom controllers, and dependency injection.
• Core features like middleware, filters, logging, configuration, and health checks.

Security:

• Implement robust authentication, secure coding practices, and mitigate web vulnerabilities.

Performance:

• Optimize with caching, code profiling, and load balancing strategies.

Scalability:

• Deploy to cloud platforms and leverage containerization for microservices.

APIs:

• Build and version RESTful APIs for data and functionality exposure.

Real-time:

• Enable real-time communication with SignalR.

Testing:

• Implement unit, integration, and end-to-end testing strategies.

Deployment:

• Automate build, test, and deployment with CI/CD pipelines.

Advanced C#:

• Utilize generics, asynchronous programming, and lambda expressions.

Design Patterns:

• Apply repository, unit of work, and factory patterns for better code organization.

Front-end Integration:

• Integrate with JavaScript frameworks and consume APIs from client-side code.

Building upon the foundation of ASP.NET fundamentals and basic C# programming, here are the essential prerequisites for delving into advanced development:

Solid understanding of:

• ASP.NET Core concepts: Familiarity with the core functionalities of ASP.NET Core, including MVC pattern, Razor syntax, dependency injection, and middleware.
• C# programming: Proficiency in C# programming fundamentals, including object-oriented programming concepts, data structures, and control flow statements.
• Database access: Understanding of database concepts and experience working with relational databases (e.g., SQL Server, MySQL) for data persistence.
• HTML, CSS, and JavaScript: Basic knowledge of front-end technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for interacting with the user interface.
