Book Description

ASP.NET is an open source web framework that builds modern web apps and services. This book is your one-stop guide to the new features of ASP.NET Core 2.0, including web APIs and MVC. We begin with a brief overview of the basics, taking you through the MVC pattern, platforms, dependencies, and frameworks. We then move on to setting up and configuring the MVC environment before talking about routing and advanced routing options. Next, we’ll look at model binding, controllers and actions, filters, user authentication, and testing.

Moving on, you’ll learn about all the aspects of syntax and processes when working with Razor. You’ll be introduced to client-side development and will get to know about the security aspects of ASP.NET Core. We will also look at microservices with ASP.NET Core. Finally, you’ll find out how to deploy ASP.NET Core to new environments such as Azure, AWS, and Docker. By the end of the book, you will be well versed with development in ASP.NET Core and will have a deep understanding of how to interact with the framework and work cross-platform.
