ASP.NET Core CI/CD: Automating Development Workflows

Modern software development requires speed and reliability that manual processes simply cannot provide. Learning to automate the path from code to production is an essential skill for any developer working with the ASP.NET Core framework. This course guides you through the principles of Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD), helping you transition from manual deployments to fully automated workflows. You will understand how to structure your development cycle to catch bugs early and deliver updates to users with confidence. By reading through practical examples and conceptual breakdowns, you will gain the knowledge needed to maintain professional-grade pipelines. What you'll learn: - Understand the core principles of the software development lifecycle and the role of automation. - Configure automated build processes for ASP.NET Core projects to ensure code consistency. - Apply unit and integration testing patterns to validate application logic automatically. - Manage build artifacts and versioning to maintain a clear history of deployable software. - Implement modern deployment strategies using GitHub Actions and containerization basics. - Practice troubleshooting failed builds and optimizing pipeline performance for faster feedback. The curriculum starts with foundational DevOps terminology and moves through practical implementation, covering testing strategies, script configuration, and environment management. You will progress from basic definitions to understanding how complex systems work together to deliver software. This course is designed for beginner developers and those new to DevOps who want to streamline their ASP.NET Core development process. No prior experience with automation tools is required.
