About This Course
.NET Aspire is Microsoft's vision for how every .NET developer will develop systems. It is a cloud-ready
stack for production-ready, distributed applications using .NET, and it makes it extremely easy to develop,
run, and test your systems locally. With unmatched dev-time orchestration, integrations with third-party services,
and excellent tooling, .NET Aspire aims to make working with the cloud and technologies like Docker and Kubernetes
easier than ever. In this course, Dan Clarke will assume you have no knowledge of what .NET Aspire is and get you
started with everything there is to learn about the stack and what it can do. It's quickly becoming a job
requirement, so check out this course and get ahead of the curve.
