ASP.NET Core for beginners

Unlock the power of ASP.NET for modern web development! ASP.NET is a widely used, open-source framework built on the robust .NET platform, offering a versatile environment for creating dynamic web applications. It's cross-platform compatible, running seamlessly on macOS, Linux, and Windows.

ASP.NET Core, released in 2016, represents a significant redesign of the original ASP.NET, providing enhanced performance and flexibility. .NET itself is a comprehensive developer platform encompassing tools, programming languages, and libraries designed for a wide range of application development needs. The core platform provides foundational components applicable across various application types, with specialized frameworks like ASP.NET extending its capabilities.

Here's a look at what the .NET platform offers:

• Programming Languages: Utilize powerful languages like C#, F#, and Visual Basic.
• Essential Libraries: Access base libraries for handling strings, dates, file input/output, and more.
• Development Tools: Leverage editors and tools optimized for Windows, Linux, macOS, and Docker environments.

ASP.NET builds upon the .NET platform, specifically equipping developers with tools and libraries tailored for web application development. Key features of ASP.NET include:

• Web Request Processing: A foundational framework for handling web requests using C# or F#.
• Razor Templating: Employ the Razor syntax to create dynamic web pages with C#.
• Common Web Pattern Libraries: Utilize libraries for popular web patterns like Model-View-Controller (MVC).
• Secure Authentication: Implement a comprehensive authentication system, including libraries, database integration, and template pages for managing logins, with support for multi-factor authentication and external authentication via platforms like Google and Twitter.
• Enhanced Editor Support: Benefit from editor extensions offering syntax highlighting, code completion, and other features optimized for web page development.

With ASP.NET, your back-end logic (business rules and data access) is developed using C#, F#, or Visual Basic.

In this course, you'll gain hands-on experience building an ASP.NET Core MVC Application, mastering the fundamentals of modern web development with ASP.NET.
