From A Non-Programmer To Full Stack .NET Developer
From A Non-Programmer To Full Stack .NET Developer
Step-by-step guide for your first web application (includes setup tutorials for the tools you need)
About the Book
I am following the same principles and steps I took when I learned programming for the first time, because I was just like you knowing almost nothing and I am now a Senior Full Stack Developer. Everything presented here is already tested on me and more others and it works.
My first advice for you is "don’t be scared, but in the same time don't expect it to be very easy". Life is not all beer and skittles and for sure I am not here to lie to you that by only reading this book you’ll become an awesome developer. Think of it as a great and unique opportunity, a starting point to learn something new. You have to stay motivated and work very hard to master it.
What will you learn ?
- Build a very simple functional web application from the ground up using industry standard practices
- Understand and develop basic C# backend applications
- Understand and develop basic HTML,CSS and JS frontend applications
- Understand the basic concepts of programming
- Learn how to search on google
- Learn the next steps to become an experienced programmer
Are there any requirements or prerequisites ?
- A laptop/desktop pc with Windows

- No-programming knowledge is required ( we will start from the very beginning and install tools we need as we go )
