Discovering .NET Aspire

.NET Aspire is Microsoft's new stack for creating distributed .NET applications. It was officially released at the 2024 Build conference to great acclaim. Ready for the cloud, .NET Aspire tackles common challenges in developing an app and later publishing the individual components. In this course, Christian Wenz—a web pioneer, technology specialist, and entrepreneur—presents a first look at .NET Aspire and shows you how it works in action. Get an introduction to the .NET Aspire stack, consisting of tooling for Visual Studio and the .NET CLI, components for commonly used services, and an orchestration layer that makes sure that all components work well together. After completing this course, you will be able to describe the purpose of .NET Aspire, develop a new .NET Aspire app, and demonstrate how to add custom functionality.
