Using S3 with .NET Core 2 on AWS from Pluralsight

This course, Using S3 with .NET Core on AWS, will teach C# developers how to create an ASP.NET Core web application that interacts with Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3.

At the core of building web applications that interact with Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 is a thorough knowledge of ASP.NET Core and the AWS SDK for .NET. In this course, Using S3 with .NET Core on AWS, you will learn how to create an ASP.NET Core application that interacts with Amazon S3 using the AWS SDK for .NET. First, you will learn how to set up an ASP.NET Core web application using a clean layered architectural approach. Next, you will learn how to add the code needed to interact with buckets and files from within our .NET Core application. Finally, you will discover how to create an integration test framework that will test your application's endpoints. When you are finished with this course, you will have a foundational knowledge of how to create a .NET Core web application, be able to interact with Amazon S3 from within your .NET Core application, and set up an integration test framework that will help you as you move forward to creating your own .NET Core applications that interact with Amazon S3 on AWS, whether personal or commercial.
