C# .NET Back End Development

Catalog description

This course is the third in a three-course C# sequence in the BSAIE program (AI Engineering with C#, Advanced C#, and C# .NET Backend Development) and focuses on the development of enterprise-ready backend services using ASP.NET. Learners extend their C# proficiency into professional software engineering by designing and implementing RESTful APIs that meet both functional and non- functional requirements, including scalability, security, and maintainability. The course emphasizes validation of service behavior through comprehensive automated unit testing that addresses typical usage scenarios and edge cases. Learners also configure .NET applications for deployment, incorporating logging, monitoring, and metrics to support operational observability and ongoing service reliability. Through applied backend engineering practices, learners build the skills necessary to deploy and operate production-grade services and prepare for integrating AI models into real-world systems that require scalable, secure, and observable backend infrastructure.
