Advanced C# Language
Structs & value types, enums, record classes, generics with constraints, Func/Action/Predicate delegates, event publisher-subscriber, and lambda expressions with closures.
LINQ & Query Pipelines
Language Integrated Query — filtering, projection, sorting, aggregation, deferred execution, GroupBy, Join, and LINQ performance patterns.
Exceptions, Files & JSON
Robust error handling with try/catch/finally, custom exceptions, exception filters, file I/O with System.IO, StreamReader/Writer, and JSON serialization with System.Text.Json.
Asynchronous Programming
Non-blocking programming with async/await, Task<T>, CancellationToken, Task.WhenAll, parallel computing with Parallel.For, thread safety and concurrent collections.
.NET Platform & Architecture
.NET SDK, CLR, JIT compilation, assemblies, NuGet package management, appsettings.json configuration, and Dependency Injection with Singleton/Scoped/Transient lifetimes.
ASP.NET Core Web APIs
Build production-ready REST APIs with ASP.NET Core 8 — Minimal APIs, Controller-based APIs with DTOs, model validation, Swagger documentation, and a complete CRUD Capstone project.
Databases & Entity Framework Core
Relational databases with SQL, Entity Framework Core ORM, DbContext, Migrations, LINQ data access, Eager Loading, Repository pattern, and a complete Database-connected CRUD API with pagination and search.
Authentication & Security
User registration, BCrypt password hashing, JWT token generation with Claims, Bearer authentication middleware, Role/Policy-based authorization, CORS, Rate Limiting, and SQL injection prevention.
Testing & Professional Development
Unit testing with xUnit and Moq, integration tests with WebApplicationFactory, SOLID principles, Clean Architecture, DRY, meaningful naming, Repository/Service/Factory patterns, and refactoring techniques.
Advanced .NET
High-performance .NET with Span<T>, Memory<T>, GC optimization, IMemoryCache, Background Services with Channel<T> queues, IHostedService, and SignalR real-time hubs for chat and live notifications.
Deployment & Cloud
Containerize ASP.NET Core APIs with Docker multi-stage builds, orchestrate with docker-compose, automate CI/CD with GitHub Actions, and deploy to Azure App Service with Key Vault, Application Insights, and Managed Identity.
