NET Learning Roadmap
That’s a smart realization 👌 You’re naturally drawn to enterprise-level stability (where .NET
shines), but you also notice that startups are JS-heavy. Since you like .NET, you should
double down there — but in a structured way so you don’t feel like you’re grabbing random
bits.
Here’s a step-by-step learning roadmap for .NET (modern stack) that gives you the
“complete package”:
🔹 1. Core C# & .NET Fundamentals
- Learn C# OOP concepts deeply (classes, interfaces, inheritance, generics, async/await).
- Understand .NET 6–8 basics: solution structure, packages (NuGet), dependency injection
(built-in).
Resource: Microsoft Learn C# Path
🔹 2. ASP.NET Core Web API
- Learn to build APIs (Controllers, Minimal APIs in .NET 6+).
- Understand REST principles (routes, verbs, status codes).
- Add Swagger (OpenAPI) for documentation.
Resource: “REST APIs with ASP.NET Core” on Microsoft Learn
🔹 3. Entity Framework Core (EF Core)
- Start with Code-First Approach (migrations, DbContext, DbSet).
- Learn LINQ queries.
- Explore relationships (1–1, 1–many, many–many).
- Practice with SQL Server (since enterprises use it a lot).
Resource: “Entity Framework Core In-Depth” (Pluralsight/YouTube)
🔹 4. Services & Architecture
- Learn Dependency Injection (registering services, scoped/transient/singleton).
- Work with Repository & Unit of Work pattern.
- Learn about Middleware (logging, error handling, authentication).
🔹 5. Authentication & Authorization
- Identity in ASP.NET Core.
- JWT tokens (for APIs).
- Role-based vs policy-based authorization.
🔹 6. Advanced Topics
- Caching (MemoryCache, Redis).
- Background Services / Hangfire.
- SignalR (for real-time apps like chat/notifications).
🔹 7. Cloud & Deployment
- Learn Docker basics.
- Deploy to Azure App Service or AWS Elastic Beanstalk.
- CI/CD with GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps.
🔹 8. Frontend Pairing
- Since you already know Flutter, you can use it as your frontend with your ASP.NET Core
API.
- Or, learn a JS frontend framework (React/Angular) just for job flexibility.
⚡ Project Ideas for Portfolio
These show enterprise-level skills:
- Employee Management System (CRUD + Auth + Roles).
- Booking System (rooms, appointments, payments).
- E-commerce Backend (cart, orders, JWT auth, SQL).
- Task Manager with Real-Time Notifications (SignalR).
✅ If you master this stack, you’ll basically know the same tools enterprises use daily.
