ASP.NET Core 2 High Performance, 2nd Edition

Learn how to develop web applications that deploy cross-platform and are optimized for high performance using ASP.NET Core 2

About This Book

• Master high-level web app performance improvement techniques using ASP.NET Core 2.0
• Find the right balance between premature optimization and inefficient code
• Design workflows that run asynchronously and are resilient to transient performance issues

Who This Book Is For

This book is aimed for readers who can build a web application and have some experience with ASP.NET or some other web application framework (such as Ruby on Rails or Django). They can be people who are happy learning details independently but who struggle to discover the topics that they should be researching. The reader should be interested in improving the performance of their web app and in learning about ASP.NET Core and modern C#.

What You Will Learn

• Understand ASP.NET Core 2 and how it differs from its predecessor
• Address performance issues at the early stages of development
• Set up development environments on Windows, Mac, and Linux
• Measure, profile and find the most significant problems
• Identify the differences between development workstations and production infrastructures, and how these can exacerbate problems
• Boost the performance of your application but with an eye to how it affects complexity and maintenance
• Explore a few cutting-edge techniques such as advanced hashing and custom transports

In Detail

The ASP.NET Core 2 framework is used to develop high-performance and cross-platform web applications. It is built on .NET
