Abstract:

Building a web application with ASP.NET Core is one thing, building them in a testable and maintainable way is another.

Clean architecture has over the years proven to be a way to create a solid foundation for enterprise-ready applications. In this workshop, you will learn how to create a testable and maintainable API with the latest version of .NET Core. You’ll learn about the tools, frameworks and best practices to create an architecture that’s tested and is powering many applications. You’ll then use the API from a Blazor front-end.

After attending this workshop, you’ll walk away with ideas to create your next applications but now, based on best practices!
