Book Description

The ASP.NET Core and Angular book has established itself as a popular choice for learning full-stack development. This book will help you become fluent in both frontend and backend web development by combining the impressive capabilities of ASP.NET Core 3.1 and Angular 9 from project setup right through the deployment phase.

The book will help you use the .NET Core framework and Web API Controllers to implement the backend with API calls and server-side routing. Going further, you will learn to build the Data Model with Entity Framework Core and configure it using either a local SQL Server instance or cloud-based data stores such as MS Azure. The book will help you handle user input with Angular Reactive Forms and frontend and backend Validators for maximum effect. You will explore the advanced debugging and unit testing features provided by xUnit.NET (.NET Core) and Jasmine/Karma (Angular). Finally, you will implement various authentication and authorization techniques with the ASP.NET Core Identity system and the new IdentityServer, as well as deploy your apps on Windows and Linux Servers using IIS, Kestrel, and NGINX.

Who This Book Is For

This book is aimed at seasoned ASP.NET developers who already know about ASP.NET Core and Angular in general, but want to know more about them and/or understand how to blend them together to craft a production-ready Single-Page Application (SPA) or Progressive Web Application (PWA). However, the fully-documented code samples (also available on GitHub) and the step-by-step implementation tutorials make the book easy to understand even for beginners and novice developers.
