Course Overview

The Microsoft Modernize .NET Apps course is designed for developers, cloud engineers, and application architects responsible for migrating legacy .NET Framework applications to modern .NET platforms. This training prepares learners for real-world scenarios where businesses must transition aging systems to secure, scalable, and cloud-native architectures. With over 60% of enterprise .NET workloads still running on legacy frameworks as of 2025, demand for skilled modernization engineers continues to grow across financial services, healthcare, and government sectors. The course specifically targets professionals aiming to master systematic migration strategies while preparing for advanced Azure development roles.

This hands-on training emphasizes practical experience with key Microsoft technologies including GitHub Copilot modernization agent, Visual Studio 2026, .NET 10 SDK, Azure App Service, Azure Blob Storage, and Microsoft Entra ID. Participants work in the Visual Studio environment to modernize a real-world ASP.NET MVC 5 application from .NET Framework 4.8 to .NET 10, following a structured assess-plan-execute workflow. Through guided labs, students generate compatibility reports, resolve breaking changes, refactor code using dependency injection and async patterns, and ultimately deploy the upgraded application to Azure. A core project involves containerizing the modernized BookCatalog app and implementing cloud-native features like managed identities and Azure-based configuration.

By completing the Microsoft Modernize .NET Apps curriculum, participants gain critical skills aligned with Azure Developer Associate capabilities and position themselves for high-impact cloud transformation roles. Certified Azure developers with modernization expertise command average base salaries between $150,000 and $190,000 as of 2026, with higher compensation in major tech markets. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning path with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling and official Microsoft courseware, ensuring consistent access to up-to-date training. Graduates emerge ready to lead enterprise migration initiatives, reduce technical debt, and drive digital transformation in organizations modernizing their critical .NET applications.
