Course Overview

The Microsoft course Build .NET Applications with C# is designed to equip aspiring developers with foundational and practical skills in the .NET ecosystem using the C# programming language. This course prepares learners for the Microsoft Certified: Azure Developer Associate certification, specifically targeting Exam AZ-204, which validates expertise in developing cloud solutions on Microsoft Azure. Ideal for roles such as .NET Developer, Cloud Application Developer, and Software Engineer, this training addresses a growing industry demand—over 60% of enterprise organizations now use .NET for mission-critical applications, according to Microsoft’s 2023 developer ecosystem report. With a focus on real-world applicability, the course supports professionals entering a field where cloud and application development skills are consistently ranked among the most sought-after in IT.

Learners engage with core technologies including .NET 8, ASP.NET Core, Visual Studio Code, NuGet package manager, System.IO for file operations, and Azure App Services. The hands-on labs are conducted within a cloud-enabled development environment using Visual Studio Code and the .NET SDK, where students build functional applications such as a RESTful web API with CRUD operations and a file management console app that reads, writes, and manipulates directories. One key project involves creating an ASP.NET Core web API that uses in-memory data storage and supports HTTP-based create, read, update, and delete actions, simulating real-world service development. These labs emphasize debugging with the Visual Studio Code debugger, dependency management via NuGet, and integration with system resources, providing a robust foundation in full-stack .NET development.

By completing the Build .NET Applications with C# course, learners are well-prepared for the Microsoft Certified: Azure Developer Associate certification, a credential recognized globally for validating cloud development expertise on the Azure platform. Certified professionals command competitive salaries, with U.S. averages ranging from $122,000 to $129,000 annually, and top earners in cities like San Francisco exceeding $155,000, as reported by Salary.com and Glassdoor in 2024. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning path with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official Microsoft courseware, and access to 1-on-1 instructor mentoring, ensuring personalized support. Graduates are positioned to advance into high-impact roles in cloud development, application engineering, and DevOps, where demand for .NET and Azure skills continues to grow across fintech, healthcare, and enterprise software sectors.
