From Zero to Hero: Dependency Injection in .NET
Master one of .NET's core pillars
About This Course
It is not an exaggeration to say that Dependency Injection is one of the core pillars of building modern .NET applications. It allows us to write cleaner code, both in structure but also in testability. There is a reason why since .NET Core launched (now simply .NET), it has been part of the framework and part of every codebase that is using it. It is a skill that every single .NET developer needs to master, and in this course, Nick will show you how to do just that.
