Programming ASP.NET Core

Dino Esposito’s Programming ASP.NET Core is the definitive guide to practical software development with Microsoft’s exciting new ASP.NET Core technologies. Unlike competitive books that focus primarily on ASP.NET Core’s cross-platform capabilities or only what’s changed from earlier versions, Esposito offers a complete learning path for every developer who wants to build production solutions. Esposito’s expert coverage includes:

• Applying all key ASP.NET Core components, including MVC for HTML generation, .NET Core, EF Core, ASP.NET Identity, dependency injection, and more
• Integrating ASP.NET Core with leading client-side frameworks, including Bootstrap
• ASP.NET Core code for implementing business logic and data transformations
• Handling configuration, routing, controllers, views, and common tasks (including posting forms and presenting data)
• Performing complementary tasks: error handling, logging, application design, authentication, localization, and more
• Front-end development: ensuring responsiveness, creating mobile views, and providing advanced interactivity
• Middleware, data access, runtime architecture, and deployment
• Taking full advantage of the brand-new ASP.NET Core runtime
