Mastering C# Network Programming — Enhanced Edition (.NET 8, 9, and 10)
From socket programming to QUIC/HTTP/3, WebSockets, gRPC, MQTT, SignalR, and WebRTC. Enhanced with .NET Aspire, network security, Native AOT networking, and post-quantum cryptography.
Based on: "Beyond Boundaries" book by Chris Woody Woodruff
Course Overview
This comprehensive course teaches developers how to build robust, scalable network applications using C# and the .NET platform. Based on the book "Beyond Boundaries: Networking Programming with C# 12 and .NET 8" by Chris Woody Woodruff, this enhanced edition adds cutting-edge coverage of .NET Aspire for distributed applications, modern network security and cryptography, Native AOT networking optimizations, and post-quantum cryptography. Students will master everything from socket programming to modern protocols, building real-world distributed systems.
- Intermediate to Advanced C# and .NET Developers. Developers building real-time, distributed, and IoT-connected systems. Teams working with microservices and network protocols.
- Proficiency in C# programming and object-oriented principles. Basic understanding of networking concepts (TCP/IP, HTTP). Familiarity with Visual Studio or VS Code. Basic knowledge of async/await in C#.
What Makes This Course Different
Two entirely new modules (Aspire, Security). 17 new video segments covering .NET 9/10 features. Coverage of post-quantum cryptography and modern observability. Based on author's published book "Beyond Boundaries."
