What you will build
In this tutorial we'll build a simple Student Information System with Serenity. By the end you'll be able to manage:
- Departments (e.g., Computer Science, Mathematics)
- Terms (academic periods, e.g., Fall 2026, Spring 2027)
- Courses (with departments, codes, and credits)
- Students (with personal info and department assignment)
- Student enrollments (student ↔ course relationships via a master–detail grid)
- Teachers and course assignments
- Grades (midterm/final/average for each student/course/term)
Along the way you'll learn how to:
- Define database schema using migrations
- Generate CRUD screens with Sergen
- Build a master–detail UI (students + enrollments)
- Add filtering, exporting (Excel/PDF), and friendly navigation
Running the Application
Before you begin, start the application from your IDE or from the command line with dotnet run. The default login is:
- Username:
admin - Password:
serenity
You'll need to be signed in to create records through the screens you build.
