This is the repository for the LinkedIn Learning Try .NET: First Look course. The full course is available from LinkedIn Learning and on the Microsoft Docs site.
Try .NET is a service created by Microsoft to help build interactive code samples. It provides an easy way to embed runnable .NET code snippets into a web page. For example, you could embed the snippets into your company documentation website. Perfect for control vendors that have .NET tools. Or add live examples to your blog posts. Try.NET is also integrated into GitHub, this is helpful for open source projects that don’t have a dedicated documentation site.
This course looks at how to build a sample documentation site with Markdown files and .NET console applications.
The branches are structured to correspond to the videos in the course. The naming convention is chapter#-video#. As an example, the branch named 02-03 corresponds to the second chapter and the third video in that chapter.
Some branches will have a beginning state (04-01) and an end state (04-01e). The end state videos use e for "end" and contains the code as it is at the end of the video. The master branch holds the the initial state of the course and is not used for exercises during the course.
To use these exercise files, follow the instructions on Akshita's blog or on the Try .NET GitHub site. For this course the instructor uses Visual Studio 2019, any edition is sufficient (Community, Professional, Enterprise). You can use the course files in Visual Studio Code instead or work with the .NET command line.
When you are ready to learn more about .NET or Visual Studio, LinkedIn Learning has what you need.
