Complete ASP.Net Core 3.1 and Entity Framework Development (Udemy.com)

The course is good at what it does and Trevoir has a good style that I find easy to follow and a clear voice. In reality the course is a good foundation for MVC even though that isnt the title.
If you want a foundation course on MVC then this is a great course. It is a little slow to start and becomes a bit repetitive because the example application isnt a trivial one and includes several views that essentially perform similar operations (albeit on different data or to produce different views of it).
One thing I found frustrating is that in a few places very basic aspects of C# are explained (ie what the ! does in if(!x)) but pertinent details arent. An example being that the modelstate is glossed over without explaining it but googling it I found a good Microsoft explanation of what it is, how its produced, what it contains and what it does. Once I understood that it makes far more sense and is easily understandable. A simple slide is provided to explain scoped vs singleton vs transient but it just repeats the standard simple Microsoft explanation and isnt helpful at explaining these which are important issues and deserved a full explanation. Similarly I felt that async was glossed over but is an extremely important topic.
Identity is covered and Trevoir explains extending the base Identity to include additional fields. Its a very useful section and as with everything else covered if explained in a clear step-by-step manner. However, I really really wished it had gone further. My frustration is the course covers the basics but in many places falls into the common trap of just saying you need to put this line of code here without explaining the details or whats actually happening within the framework. I think a weakness of the course is that it doesnt explain the security issues and just glosses over things like ValidateAntiForgeryToken. At a couple of points Trevoir uses a js onclick function but warns that it creates a security issue and therefore isnt good practice. I think at one point he says hes going to explain this but unless I missed the explanation never does so. It would have been very useful to have a section on security.
The course is billed as the complete source on EF development. However, I was left wanting/needing more. It covers the essentials for an app with a small database with reasonably simple queries. However, there is no explanation that .net can execute some queries in the database whereas as soon as you cast the results to other data classes any query will be executed in memory having fetched all of the underlying records from the database. If you have a table with millions of records that quickly because extremely bad. Also the course doesnt deal with only fetching limited columns to optimise performance and doesnt deal with complex queries. The course assumes the use of automapper but does not really deal with building apps without automapper.
The course is billed as the complete course for EF and whilst it is a good course in the essentials of MVC I found it very lacking in terms of covering EF except in terms of the basics for a reasonably simple MVC app.
The course doesnt cover Razor @pages (just razor views its an MVC course) and doesnt cover partial pages (except briefly mentioning the login view) or Razor components. I havent found a course that deals with partial pages, components, etc and disappointed that these arent covered.
If you want a course focused on MVC and covering the essentials then this IS a good course and Trevoir is a good tutor.

Very happy. Great lecturer.

Very good and explained content

This course was a great introduction to APS.NET Core 3.1 and Entity Framework. The additional explanations of the various design patterns were a nice touch as well. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in this subject matter.

So far very good match, thanks!

i'm very satisfied with this course and enjoyed every minute of the 19 hours. It was especially helpful to see, what to do if something went wrong...

Es muy buena.

So far it's been very instructive!

Nice Man! Really good explanation!

Im Exited what much I Learn. I reinforce my Knowledge..

Clear and complete so far in explanations.

This is the only course that I found so far that actually explains everything he shows in GREAT detail. The course is slower because of this but for beginners like me, it's perfect.
Half a star missing because the Identity coverage was too basic for me.
