This
roadmap will guide you through learning the essential concepts and technologies to become proficient
in C# web development.
Learn C# Fundamentals: Understand variables, data types, operators, control flow (if-else, loops),
methods, exception handling, etc.
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP): Learn the basics of OOP principles like classes, objects,
inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, and abstraction.
LINQ: Master Language Integrated Query (LINQ) for querying data collections in C#.
Asynchronous Programming: Understand async and await for handling asynchronous tasks.
Visual Studio: Install Visual Studio, a powerful IDE for .NET development. Learn how to navigate it,
use its debugging tools, and manage projects.
.NET SDK: Install the latest .NET SDK to compile and run your C# applications.
HTML & CSS: Learn the basics of creating web pages using HTML for structure and CSS for styling.
Introduction to ASP.NET Core: Understand what ASP.NET Core is and how it works. Learn about the
Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern, which is the backbone of web applications.
Create Your First ASP.NET Core App: Build a simple web application using ASP.NET Core MVC. Learn
about project structure, routing, controllers, views, and models.
Razor Pages: Understand Razor Pages, a simpler alternative to MVC for small applications, where
page and controller logic is combined.
Dependency Injection: Learn how ASP.NET Core uses dependency injection to manage services and
promote loose coupling.
Entity Framework Core (EF Core): Learn how to work with databases using EF Core, an ORM (Object-
Relational Mapper) for C#. Understand how to create models, migrations, and perform CRUD operations.
Middleware: Understand middleware and how requests are handled in ASP.NET Core.
Authentication and Authorization: Learn how to implement security in your applications using
Identity and OAuth.
API Development: Create RESTful APIs using ASP.NET Core, which is useful for building backend
services for frontend applications.
JavaScript Frameworks: Learn how to integrate popular frontend frameworks like React, Angular, or
Vue with ASP.NET Core applications for building interactive user interfaces.
Git and GitHub: Learn version control with Git. Understand branching, merging, and collaborating
with GitHub for project management.
Testing
Unit Testing: Learn how to write unit tests for your ASP.NET Core applications using xUnit or NUnit.
Integration Testing: Test the interaction between different parts of your application.
Hosting: Learn how to deploy your ASP.NET Core applications to different environments like IIS,
Azure, or AWS.
CI/CD Pipelines: Set up Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment pipelines using tools like
GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps.
Performance Optimization and Best Practices
Security Best Practices: Learn about security best practices, including data protection, secure coding,
and protecting your application against common vulnerabilities.
Additional Resources
Documentation: Regularly refer to the official Microsoft .NET Documentation for up-to-date
information and examples.
Online Courses: Consider platforms like Pluralsight, Udemy, and Microsoft Learn for guided learning.
Community and Forums: Engage with communities like Stack Overflow, GitHub, and Reddit for
