ASP.NET Core Full Stack: Build a Social Media App in C# (Udemy.com)

Build a complete, full stack social media application with ASP.NET Core, C#, JavaScript, Tailwind CSS, and Azure, from an empty Visual Studio project to a live, deployed app.

This is a hands-on, project-based course for developers who want to build real software, not toy demos. You will create your own feature-rich social platform from scratch, covering both the front-end and the back-end, and ship it to the cloud with an automated CI/CD pipeline. Every feature is built step by step, so you finish with a working application and a deep understanding of how a modern full stack web app fits together.

What you'll build

A fully functional social network with the features users expect: a post and story feed, likes, comments, shares, and favorites; a complete friend-request system (add, cancel, ignore, and approve); a notifications system; content reporting; and a trending section driven by the most-used hashtags.

What you'll learn

Core social features with ASP.NET Core: Implement posts, stories, likes, comments, shares, favorites, friend requests, notifications, reports, and hashtag trends, the building blocks behind every modern social app.

ASP.NET Core MVC architecture: Structure the project with the ASP.NET Core MVC framework for clean separation of concerns and a maintainable, scalable codebase you can extend long after the course.

Data with Entity Framework Core: Design and evolve your database schema using EF Core migrations. Create, read, update, and delete records, and set up and query your SQL database so data is stored securely and accessed efficiently.

Modern front-end with Tailwind CSS and JavaScript: Build a responsive, polished interface with Tailwind's utility-first workflow, and add the JavaScript that makes a social app feel fast and interactive.

Cloud deployment with Azure: Deploy your application to Azure and configure a CI/CD pipeline that automates releases, so every change ships smoothly to a real production environment.
