About this test
This test is built around the Backend-Focused Full-Stack Developer role, which prefers C# and .NET and strong SQL skills. It covers core C#, ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework, SQL Server and the basics of Power BI reporting.
It is practice only and is not part of any job application.

- C# and .NET (8)
- Entity Framework and SQL Server (5)
- Git and the web (3)
- SQL (8)
