Objectives and progression

Learn ASP.NET Core through configuration, HTTP, data, security and operations. Interpret code and scenarios through original single- and multiple-choice questions.

Audience

C# developers and support teams needing to understand ASP.NET Core applications and justify diagnosis and delivery decisions.

Prerequisites

C# fundamentals: types, classes, interfaces, exceptions, collections and code reading. Basic HTTP and SQL. Assessments require no tool installation, program execution or service provisioning.

What you will learn

  • Define composition, configuration and input contracts.
  • Analyze transactions, concurrency and data access.
  • Configure and interpret authorization boundaries and test scopes.
  • Relate artifact identity, observability and recovery.

What is available

10 lessons · 100 regular questions · 20 cases

Internal final assessment: 40 exercises in 90 minutes. Full mock exams are not yet available.

Assessments and mock exams reuse path exercises. They do not award certifications or guarantee passing an external exam.

Scope, review and limitations

Ten lessons with 100 regular questions and 20 original cases. Learn application composition, HTTP contract validation, transaction boundaries, authorization configuration and interpretation of testing and operational evidence. The baseline is ASP.NET Core 10.0,.NET 10 and C# 14, with HTTP APIs and Minimal API examples unless stated otherwise. All assessments use single or multiple choice with excerpts and scenarios, without code execution. The final assessment reuses 40 course items in 90 minutes. C# fundamentals belong to the separate C# path.

Internal 40-question assessment in 90 minutes, reusing course items, with single or multiple choice and no code execution. It is not an official exam and awards no external certification.
