Dapper and ASP.NET Core: High-Performance Data Access

Modern applications require fast and lightweight data access to remain responsive and scalable under heavy loads. Dapper offers a streamlined way to bridge the gap between your C# code and SQL databases without the performance overhead of traditional, heavy object-relational mappers. In this course, you will learn how to implement Dapper to handle database operations efficiently, moving from foundational concepts to practical implementation strategies. You will gain the skills to build a robust data access layer that balances simplicity with high-speed performance. What you'll learn: - Understand the core principles of Dapper and how it simplifies data mapping in .NET. - Execute essential CRUD operations using clean and efficient C# code. - Master advanced mapping techniques for complex data structures and relationships. - Implement asynchronous data access patterns to improve application responsiveness. - Practice integrating Dapper within a standard ASP.NET Core architecture. - Configure database connections and manage transactions securely. The course begins with essential terminology and setup before progressing through practical implementation strategies for real-world application development. You will read through detailed explanations and code examples designed to make you productive with Dapper immediately. This course is designed for beginners and developers new to Dapper who have a basic understanding of C# and SQL. No prior experience with micro-ORMs is required.
