Our take

Based on the ratings of 25,710 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in September 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

Neil Cummings walks students through building one dating app, API first and Angular front end second, until it is published to Azure. It runs about 32 hours across 255 lectures and was refreshed in September 2026, with the description promising .NET 9 and Angular 20. The course is labelled beginner, but the requirements ask for hello world experience in both frameworks, and reviewers back that up. It suits developers who know one side of the stack and want to see the other side wired in properly.

With 25,700 reviews and a 4.7 rating, the reaction is mostly warm. Students praise the way concepts come back repeatedly instead of being covered once and dropped, and one reviewer says Cummings is always ready to explain tricky questions. The complaints are specific. One four-star review says the back-end teaching is strong but the Angular side has naming and style issues and shaky use of signals. Another had trouble with the node version manager setup. A one-star reviewer disliked writing C# in VS Code rather than Visual Studio or Rider, and everything is demonstrated in VS Code, so that preference is worth checking before buying.

This is a project course rather than a reference, so it covers less Angular theory than the general Angular guides it shares a list with. On the ASP.NET side, it builds a complete front end alongside the API instead of stopping at the endpoints. Reviewers call it dense, and one recommends repeating the early sections. If you want to see JWT auth, SignalR, paging and photo upload built end to end and shipped, this is the one to take.

Best forDevelopers with basic .NET or Angular knowledge who want to see a full stack app built end to end, not framework theory.
Skip it ifYou want a Visual Studio or Rider workflow, or a deep Angular reference rather than one long project.

Pros

  • Builds one full dating app end to end: JWT auth, photo upload, paging, messaging, SignalR, then Azure publishing
  • Refreshed in September 2026, with the description promising .NET 9 and Angular 20
  • Reviewers say concepts are revisited across sections, so ideas stick instead of appearing once
  • A reviewer says Cummings is always ready to explain tricky questions

Cons

  • A four-star review flags Angular naming conventions, style issues and weak use of signals on the front end
  • Everything is done in VS Code; one reviewer hated skipping Visual Studio or Rider for C#
  • Labelled beginner, but hello world experience in both frameworks is required and reviewers say CRUD practice helps
Great experience coding along highly recommended. Have learnt so much in a very short time. Its pretty dense, went through section 2 twice which was well worth the time.

Course Description

This course has been remastered and completely updated for .Net 9.0 and Angular 20!

Have you learnt the basics of ASP.NET Core and Angular?  Not sure where to go next?  This course should be able to help with that.  In this course we start from nothing and incrementally build up our API and Angular front end until we have a fully functional Web Application that we then publish to Azure

These are 2 of the hottest frameworks right now for the 'back-end' (Microsoft's ASP.NET Core) and the 'front-end' (Google's Angular) and are well worth spending the time to learn.

In this course we build a complete application from start to finish and every line of code is demonstrated and explained.

This course is right up to date as at June 2025 using .Net 9.0 and Angular 20 and as these frameworks evolve, this course will evolve with it.  

Read some of the great reviews of the course:

Jim says "The absolute best course for building an API in .Net core and working with Angular!"

Daniyal says: "This is a complete project based course from start to finish with real world experience using technologies that are currently in demand in the market. People interested in learning latest technologies should consider this course."

Here are some of the things you will learn about in this course:

  • Setting up the developer environment

  • Creating the ASP.NET Core WebAPI and the Angular app using the DotNet CLI and the Angular CLI

  • Adding a Client side login and register function to our Angular application

  • Adding 3rd party components to add some pizzazz to the app

  • Adding routing to the Angular application and securing routes.

  • Using extension methods in .Net

  • Building a great looking UI using Tailwind4 and DaisyUI

  • Adding Photo Upload functionality as well as a cool looking gallery in Angular

  • Angular Template forms and Reactive forms and validation

  • Paging, Sorting and Filtering

  • Adding a Private Messaging system to the app

  • Publishing the application to Azure free of charge

  • Using SignalR for real time presence and live messaging between users

  • Many more things as well

Tools you need for this course

In this course all the lessons are demonstrated using Visual Studio Code, a free (and fantastic) cross platform code editor.   You can of course use any code editor you like and any Operating system you like... as long as it's Windows, Linux or Mac

Is this course for you?

This course is very practical, about 90%+ of the lessons will involve you coding along with me on this project.  If you are the type of person who gets the most out of learning by doing, then this course is definitely for you.  

On this course we will build an example Dating Application, completely from scratch using the DotNet CLI and the Angular CLI to help us get started.  All you will need to get started is a computer with your favourite operating system, and a passion for learning how to build an application using ASP.NET Core and Angular.

El contenido ha estado muy bien organizado, muy buena estructura, la cobertura del tema es total diría yo, increíblemente actualizado, y hasta se ha colado algún detalle muy relacionado pero que no pertenece al tema como tal. Del curso se sale como desarrollador full stack y con conocimientos de devops. Muy satisfecho y agradecido, y aquí me lo quedo como referencia, al igual que mi implementación práctica que he ido haciendo a través de todo el curso.

By Yurii Ilnytskyi on 6/21/2026

A teacher has really good knowledge in BE but FE seems to have several bad practices and it feels like lack of knowledge. If the entire course is more focused on .NET it's fine. From mismatched on FE I will list: naming conventions (.service, .component, not -component), weak signals knowledge, lot of style guide issues)

By Andre Vergara on 4/2/2026

TLDR; Awesome course if you have some .NET and Angular experience. This is one of those Udemy hidden gems, this course gave me valuable information and tools to transform my idea into product it covers all you need for a production ready app, saying that to get the most of it you MUST have some experience with .NET Core and Angular or at least try to build some CRUD apps by your own (No vibe coded or with AI) otherwise it will be quite challenging to follow.

By Anil on 3/4/2026

This course is really amazing, really worth for .net developers who want's to learn front end app along with api. Everything has been explained very clearly with features of all command of Angular. Only 1 thing i can say "AMAZING"

By Rony Olazabal on 12/8/2025

The course was quite good in terms of developing a .NET Core & Angular application. Obviously, a strong foundation in Angular, TypeScript, JavaScript, and Daisy UI is necessary to fully understand it, as mastery of these technologies is assumed.

By Reza Khosravian on 12/2/2025

All in all a great course, should one have this amount of time to invest on the matter. - Pros: Really from A to Z, including the finishing aspects required to actually publish the app! - Cons: It could have had more depth in subjects like the EF Core, the mindset/thinking model behind Angular etc. at the cost of having fewer features.

By Enobong Bassey on 11/24/2025

I am so thrilled by the way the instructor explains every single bit of code based on its functions and errors that might be associated with a certain coding operation. The explanation of the concepts is on point and very easy to understand. I will definitely recommend this course to anyone wishing to dive into ASP.NET Core and Angular.

By Anthony McEvoy on 11/12/2025

Really enjoying the course I am just getting started on part 5 but unusually i am leaving a review early. I am a lead dev who works with Api's daily but wanted to understand Angular better. What i am finding is that i am also finding thing out more about Api's even though i work with them everyday. Neil is a really great teacher with deep easily understandable explanations that are delivered in a very understandable way. Thankyou!

By Kalyan Kumar Madalam on 11/7/2025

The course is excellent for learning the basics and understanding fundamental concepts. Additionally, the section on application development is explained very well and is truly impressive.

By Kumaresan Ponnusamy on 11/2/2025

I really appreciated the instructor’s clear explanations and practical approach. The course enhanced my skills in both front-end and back-end development, giving me confidence to build full-stack applications.
