A question on skills required to be an ASP.NET developer

aliba bakes

I am a beginner level C# programmer and I would like to learn ASP.NET once I become proficient with C#. I recently saw a job listing for ASP.NET developers that needs proficiency in HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. My question is, why would a person who is proficient in JavaScript should choose to learn ASP.NET? Is JavaScript a prerequisite for learning ASP.NET? Also, if a person is good with JavaScript and some of its frameworks, can't he/she build all kinds of websites without knowing ASP.NET? Thank you.

I apologize if this question has already been asked.

let me explain you in detail about this,

Front End Frameworks like Javascript, Html, and CSS are browser-based languages and also browser can only understand these along with that we need server-side programming while interacting with Database for that purpose we need a programming language like C# and framework like Asp.net and Asp.net MVC and .Net Core

So I would suggest you learn the Asp.net core as per the current market standards also it's trending

So Front End like Javascript, HTML, CSS, and Server Side like .Net framework and also Database these plays a vital role in any project /Product.

Hi,

As an ASP.NET developer you are required to work with development of Web Pages.

HTML, CSS and JavaScript are the basic building blocks of Web Page. At the end this is the final result that browser understands.

HTML defines the structure of page. This page is dynamically generated as response from Server.
CSS is the web browser language to style the structure.
That requires us to work in JavaScript to implement functionality that should not refresh page and change DOM.

JavaScript is extensively used in Web Pages and can help in creating complex functionality. There are many libraries/frameworks that are built using JavaScript such as Knockout.js/Vue.js/jQuery .Many libraries are used as part of web development.

Therefore, JavaScript is Important!!

Hi,

Thank you so much for asking such question and the way you designed for learning, now the software development process would be changed in an automation world, so the company expecting the developer/engineer should be the full-stack model developer.

HTML5, CSS, Javascript - this skills highly recommend building any kind of browser-based application and it equally treats the server-side code(asp.net+c#) in recent days. we can also build the mobile application these skills with the help of the mobile support framework.

ASP.Net it's fully functioning in server-side like security, logging, transaction. you can build an application without ASP.Net knowledge, for data access we can use the javascript framework to access server side api and remote data.

So I would suggest you learn both client-side and server-side code(Full stack developer).

Javascript is a language which prefered by browser
Like if you want to show some page and do some opeartion from client side that time you can do it using Javascript

Asp.Net is a server side platform which required to do operation on server side and store or retrive data from any storage or file system If there's any portal where you want to do some some authentication or authorization that time you required server side language

In place of Asp.Net you can use Node js as a javascript server side language
but Asp.Net provides you more benefits like to avoid session hijacking, Form Authentication, Windows authentication, IIS authentication

Thank you
