A classic beginner’s dilemma is not being able to solve a problem because you don’t know which tools to use. For example, there are literally thousands of classes built-in to .NET, but where do you start to learn? In this course, .NET Class Libraries: The Big Picture, you’ll learn about the .NET class libraries you’ll use everyday. First, you’ll explore the differences between the .NET Framework, .NET Core, and .NET 5 and when to pick which. Next, you’ll discover functionality provided in read, write, and manipulate data. Finally, you’ll learn the classes involved in asynchronous programming and communicating with web resources.. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of .NET class libraries needed to start building .NET applications.
