ASP.NET Core Security

This is the repository for the LinkedIn Learning course ASP.NET Core Security. The full course is available from LinkedIn Learning.

Software security is an important consideration when designing and developing web applications. While security breaches and threats can have serious consequences, there are steps you can take as a software developer to keep your applications safe. In this course, instructor Ervis Trupja explores techniques for securing and controlling access to your ASP.NET Core applications. Ervis begins by going over some of the most common types of attacks and how to protect yourself against them. Learn the skills you need to know to protect sensitive data in your applications using different strategies of authentication and authorization in ASP.NET Core.

Instructions

This repository has branches for each of the videos in the course. You can use the branch pop up menu in github to switch to a specific branch and take a look at the course at that stage, or you can add /tree/BRANCH_NAME to the URL to go to the branch you want to access.

Branches

The branches are structured to correspond to the videos in the course. The naming convention is CHAPTER#_MOVIE#. 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 and an end state. These are marked with the letters b for "beginning" and e for "end". The b branch contains the code as it is at the beginning of the movie. The e branch contains the code as it is at the end of the movie. The main branch holds the final state of the code when in the course.
