Architecting and Scaling ASP.NET Core MVC Applications

Moving from a simple prototype to a production-ready application requires more than just basic coding skills—it requires a solid architectural foundation. As projects grow, the way you organize your code determines whether your application will thrive or become impossible to maintain. This course guides you through the process of evolving an existing ASP.NET Core MVC project into a scalable, maintainable system capable of handling complex business logic and secure transactions. You will learn how to approach real-world scenarios where requirements shift, requiring you to refactor code and expand your database schema without losing stability. What you'll learn: - Apply architectural patterns like Repository and Unit of Work to decouple business logic from data access. - Configure Entity Framework Core for complex data relationships and efficient migrations. - Implement secure payment processing workflows to handle commercial transactions. - Manage dependency injection and service lifetimes to ensure clean, modular, and testable code. - Refactor existing codebases to accommodate new features while maintaining system integrity. - Utilize modern C# features such as records and nullable reference types for more robust development. You will start by establishing core architectural definitions and foundational concepts before diving into the practical challenges of refactoring and expanding a web application. The curriculum focuses on the transition from basic functionality to professional-grade structure, emphasizing clean code and sustainable growth. This course is designed for developers who understand the basics of C# and web development and are ready to learn how to build and maintain larger, more professional applications. No prior experience with software architecture is required. Begin your journey into professional web architecture and learn how to build software that lasts.
