Program Overview: What is .NET Modernisation (.NET 8+ Migration)?
.NET Modernisation (.NET 8+ Migration) is Edstellar's instructor-led technical program for .NET teams modernizing legacy applications to .NET 8 and beyond. Participants learn legacy assessment, code and dependency migration, architecture and data access modernization, testing, and deployment. The focus stays on real migrations: techniques your engineers apply directly to aging .NET estates.
Training is hands-on from the first module. Participants assess legacy .NET applications for compatibility, then upgrade projects and migrate code and dependencies in guided labs. Instructors coach your team through architecture modernization, containerized workloads, and data access upgrades, reviewing every exercise with direct feedback. The program closes with a capstone where the team modernizes a complete legacy application reviewed against production criteria.
Teams stuck on legacy .NET pay for it daily: unsupported frameworks, slow releases, and features nobody dares to touch. This program teaches your engineers a disciplined migration path, from assessment through modernized, containerized deployment. Every step is practiced in labs, so the confidence transfers directly to your production estate.
The capstone has them modernize a real legacy application to .NET 8+, migration plan included. Your team comes back knowing exactly where to start on your own aging codebase, and which traps to sidestep.
The curriculum is hands-on from the first module: your team migrates real-style legacy applications with guided labs for every step. You assess compatibility, upgrade projects, modernize data access, containerize workloads, and finish with a capstone migration reviewed by the instructor against production criteria.

Where this Training Fits in Your Team's learning path.
Modernisation works best once your team knows how good .NET architecture should look, so the migration improves the design instead of copying old problems forward. You set the target design, move the code onto .NET 8 and later, take the upgraded applications to the cloud, then build cloud-native from there.

Guide Legacy .NET Applications Through a Tested Modernization Journey
Edstellar helps engineering teams approach .NET modernization as a sequence of assessable decisions rather than a single framework upgrade. Participants investigate compatibility, migrate code and dependencies, modernize data access, and test deployment options. Guided exercises culminate in a complete legacy application migration, reviewed for technical choices and validation evidence.
- Step 01
Consult
We examine C# experience, legacy application dependencies, and compatibility concerns to identify where assessment, API replacement, or migration testing needs focused practice.
- Step 02
Plan
Learning moves from .NET 8 platform foundations and estate assessment through code migration, EF Core, containerization, and tested deployment of a modernized application.
- Step 03
Align
We align instruction with .NET migration expertise, the cohort’s existing applications, and development tooling so assessment and regression testing receive appropriate attention.
- Step 04
Customize
We adapt sample legacy applications to familiar dependency issues, data access patterns, and rollout constraints while keeping migration work inside guided exercises.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants use compatibility analyzers, replace deprecated APIs, migrate data access, and build deployment pipelines, receiving feedback on breaking changes and regression coverage.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We review the migrated application and supporting tests, asking participants to explain compatibility decisions, performance findings, and the reasoning behind their rollout plan.
