Today, users are demanding responsiveness, the latest and greatest features, and zero downtime from their applications. Businesses are rapidly adopting the cloud’s power to meet user demand, increase scalability and availability of applications. However, to fully embrace the cloud and optimize cost savings, applications need to be designed with the cloud in mind. This means not just changing the way applications are built, but also changing development practices in the organization to adopt this cloud-native architectural style.
The .NET team has put together a collection of free resources to help you speed up your cloud-native application development journey. Whether you’re modernizing your application or creating something new, we have guidance to assist your decision-making. These guides are up-to-date and include the latest and greatest cloud-ready features in the .NET platform.
Getting started on cloud-native .NET apps
If you are a beginner, start building a simple microservice endpoint using ASP.NET Web API, Docker, and deploy them to Azure Kubernetes Services(AKS).
- 👉 .NET Tutorial – Hello World Microservice covers step-by-step instructions for installing .NET and building your first microservice using Docker.
- 👉 .NET Tutorial – Deploy a microservice to Azure covers step-by-step instructions for deploying a .NET microservice to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
- 👉 .NET and Docker 101 Videos will help you get started on .NET, Docker and the tooling support in Visual Studio.
Also, join us for a live two hour course coming up on March 26: Let’s Learn .NET: Microservices. Come learn about what microservices are, why you need them, and how to build them with C# and .NET. You will leave with an understanding of how a container, images, hub, and orchestrator all relate to each other.
Hands-on Microsoft learn modules
Microsoft has a free online training platform called Microsoft Learn. You can learn more skills with content that is fun, guided, hands-on, interactive, and specific to your role & goals. We have built a series of modules to help you learn to build .NET microservices and cloud-native technologies like Docker, Container Registry, Kubernetes, Helm, and so much more. The only setup that you need on your computer to execute this module is a browser. All the magic is done behind the scenes using the Azure CLI, so, you can focus totally on the learning and leave the infrastructure headaches to the scripts.

So Microsoft is using go to build DAPR instead of C#, it disappointed me. If Microsoft thinks go is better than C#, why does it even persuade other people to learn c#.
Thanks for putting all these gems in one place. Help me a lot.
