- Build an ASPNET MVC client application for creating and managing short URLs, including user authentication and administrative functions.
- Develop an ASPNET Web API service to handle redirection from short URLs to the original URLs, utilizing custom routing.
- Configure Entity Framework Core within a ASPNET class library for robust database operations, including migrations and data access.
- Integrate ASPNET MVC, Web API, and Entity Framework Core to create a cohesive URL shortener application with a focus on full-stack development practices.
Course Description
Want to learn how to build awesome web application with ASPNET? This course is for you! We'll show you how to create your own cool URL shortener using ASP.NET Core. You'll build the whole thing – the part users see (front-end) and the behind-the-scenes magic (back-end). Plus, you'll learn how to store info safely in a database with Entity Framework Core.
What will you learn?
Make a user-friendly website: Build the part of your URL shortener where people log in and manage their links (using ASP.NET MVC). Think of it like the control panel for your app.
Master those redirects: Set up a special system (ASP.NET Web API) to make sure shortened links take people to the right place. It's like the super-fast traffic cop for your website!
Get organized with a database: Use Entity Framework Core to store and manage your shortened links. Imagine a super neat filing cabinet for all your website's important info.
Become a full-stack pro: Learn how to fit all the pieces together (ASP.NET MVC, Web API, and Entity Framework Core) to create a complete web app.
This course is super hands-on, so you'll finish feeling like you can build your own amazing websites with .NET Core. Ready to get started? Let's do this!

Ervis Trupja
Hi everyone! I'm Ervis, and I'm thrilled to be here at Udemy guiding you through the world of building apps by coding along.
My passion for programming is fueled by a strong foundation in mathematics and data structures. While I'm a .NET developer at heart, thanks to the vibrant Microsoft ecosystem, I'm a firm believer in continuous learning and constantly expand my horizons by exploring new languages, paradigms, and ideas.
Outside of teaching, I work as a software engineer and founder. I'm currently building Reslug, a URL shortener, QR code generator, and link-in-bio platform built on .NET 9 and Azure. A lot of the patterns I cover in my courses, clean architecture, EF Core, authentication, multi-tenancy, come straight from problems I solve there day to day.
When I'm not coding or recording, you'll find me lost in a good book or exploring a new corner of the world. Travel and reading keep me curious and feed how I approach problems.
Excited to build alongside you and turn your programming goals into real, working software.
