📣 Build always-running, reliable background systems every professional developer must understand.

📘 Windows Services

Always-Running Systems & Background Processing for Professional Developers

🗝️ About This Course?

Most developers learn how to build applications.
Very few learn how to build systems that never stop running.

Windows Services are the invisible backbone of real software systems:
they run in the background, start automatically, recover from failures, and work without any user interface.

This course is designed to teach you how real production systems actually work.

You will not build screens. You will build always-running background services that power real businesses.

This course answers a critical question many developers never ask:

“How do real applications run 24/7 without anyone touching them?”

🔐 What Makes This Course Different?

🔹 Focuses on system-level programming, not UI
🔹 Teaches how Windows manages services internally
🔹 Explains service lifecycle, states, and recovery clearly
🔹 Covers real deployment, installation, and uninstallation
🔹 Shows how to debug services professionally
🔹 Includes real production-style Windows Service projects
🔹 Compares classic Windows Services vs modern Worker Services

This course teaches how software lives in production, not just how it runs on your machine.

📖 What You Will Learn?

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

🔹 Understand what Windows Services are and why they exist
🔹 Explain when and why to use a Windows Service
🔹 Build a Windows Service from scratch using C#
🔹 Install, start, stop, and manage services professionally
🔹 Handle service lifecycle events correctly (Start, Stop, Pause, Shutdown)
🔹 Debug Windows Services using Console Mode
🔹 Understand the Service Control Manager (SCM)
🔹 Work with service priorities and dependencies
🔹 Implement recovery and fault-handling strategies
🔹 Deploy and uninstall services safely
🔹 Distinguish between .NET Framework Services and modern Worker Services
