In plain English

This repository is a visual roadmap for developers who want to work as backend engineers using .NET, with a focus on microservices and cloud environments. It was put together by a developer and course creator who has been teaching .NET topics, and it covers the technologies and concepts someone in that role would be expected to know. The main content is a single image: a compact diagram showing the recommended learning path for 2023. An interactive version of the map is linked in the README for those who want to explore it in more detail. The diagram itself is not described in text within the README, so the actual content of the roadmap is only visible as an image. The README also links to a set of paid video courses covering topics that appear on the roadmap, such as unit testing in C#, integration testing in ASP.NET Core, dependency injection, REST APIs, minimal APIs, and cloud fundamentals on AWS for C# developers. These are hosted on a platform called Dometrain. The repository itself contains no written curriculum or instructional content beyond the roadmap image and course links.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
I'm a junior C# developer. Based on the .NET backend roadmap, what should I learn first: unit testing, dependency injection, or REST APIs? Explain why.
Prompt 2
Create a 3-month study plan for a mid-level developer to cover the microservices and cloud sections of the .NET backend roadmap.
Prompt 3
Explain dependency injection in ASP.NET Core to someone who has never used it before, with a simple practical code example.
Prompt 4
What are the most important AWS services a .NET backend developer needs to know for building cloud-native microservices?
