Introduction

ASP.NET is a powerful, flexible framework for building web applications, and when combined with AWS (Amazon Web Services), it unlocks a new level of scalability, performance, and flexibility. This advanced course is designed for developers who want to dive deeper into ASP.NET development while leveraging AWS services to build high-performance, cloud-native applications. Throughout this course, you’ll explore how to deploy, optimize, and scale ASP.NET applications on AWS, integrating services like AWS Lambda, EC2, RDS, and S3. You’ll also learn advanced techniques for security, monitoring, and performance tuning in an AWS environment, ensuring that your applications are production-ready for the cloud.

Prerequisites

• Strong knowledge of ASP.NET and C#
• Familiarity with AWS basics (EC2, S3, IAM)
• Experience with web application development
• Basic understanding of cloud computing concepts
• Familiarity with Visual Studio or .NET Core development environments
