About the Technology: ASP.NET Core is Microsoft's modern, open-source framework for building high-performance web applications. Combined with C#, it offers a cross-platform development stack for APIs, server-rendered UIs, and cloud-native apps. Its built-in dependency injection, minimal APIs, and first-class support for Docker, Azure, and Razor Pages make it a top choice for developers building real-world solutions.
What's Inside: - Building Razor Pages and MVC apps with clean architecture
- State management, dependency injection, and service lifetimes
- API development using minimal APIs and secure authentication with JWT & cookies
- Entity Framework Core for database access with real-world examples
- Advanced caching, logging, and observability with Redis and Serilog
- Identity, role-based access control, and policy-based authorization
- Deployment to production with Docker, Azure, IIS, and GitHub Actions CI/CD
- Clean code patterns using CQRS with MediatR and AutoMapper integration
- Appendices with CLI cheat sheets, recommended NuGet packages, and a glossary
Everything is explained in a tutorial-style, with step-by-step code examples to ensure you can follow along and build your own production-ready app from scratch.
