Hi Mate,
Are you sure that you want to be integrating mySQL with .NET? If so, I can still show you how to integrate with mySQL but I wouldn't advise it.
If you want to be doing .NET like a ninja using MSSQL I can get you up and running in a few hours. I'll show you how to
- Install and configure an MSSQL instance in a VM (MSSQL express is free)
- Set up your visual studio project and configure your git repository
- Create an ASP.NET MVC Web application
- Create a console application
- Use MSSQL Management studio to create tables
- Add an Entity Framework reference to a project to use as an ORM for database connections.
- Query, Insert and delete records using Linq with entity framework.
- Explain HTTP concepts to get you writing code that talks over the web.
If you want to get advanced I can show you how to javascript application in a HTML page which talks to the MVC application via AJAX or I can show you how to POST from powershell or the console app or any application in any language to the web app so that you can integrate your web service into any application or script.
If you're available to do a 2 hour session tonight that would suit me well. I have a busy week ahead and I'm not sure how much time I'll be able to spend after tonight.
Cheers,
Luke
