ASP.NET Core Introduction

ASP.NET Core is the new web framework from Microsoft. It has been redesigned from the ground up to be fast, flexible, modern, and work across different platforms. Moving forward, ASP.NET Core is the framework that can be used for web development with .NET. If you have any experience with MVC or Web API over the last few years, you will notice some familiar features. At the end this tutorial, you will have everything you need to start using ASP.NET Core and write an application that can create, edit, and view data from a database.

What is ASP.NET Core

ASP.NET Core is an open source and cloud-optimized web framework for developing modern web applications that can be developed and run on Windows, Linux and the Mac. It includes the MVC framework, which now combines the features of MVC and Web API into a single web programming framework.
  • ASP.NET Core apps can run on .NET Core or on the full .NET Framework.
  • It was architected to provide an optimized development framework for apps that are deployed to the cloud or run on-premises.
  • It consists of modular components with minimal overhead, so you retain flexibility while constructing your solutions.
  • You can develop and run your ASP.NET Core apps cross-platform on Windows, Mac and Linux.

Advantages of ASP.NET Core

ASP.NET Core comes with the following advantages −
  • ASP.NET Core has a number of architectural changes that result in a much leaner and modular framework.
  • ASP.NET Core is no longer based on System.Web.dll. It is based on a set of granular and well factored NuGet packages.
  • This allows you to optimize your app to include just the NuGet packages you need.
  • The benefits of a smaller app surface area include tighter security, reduced servicing, improved performance, and decreased costs
With ASP.NET Core, you can get the following improvements −
  • Build and run cross-platform ASP.NET apps on Windows, Mac and Linux.
  • Built on .NET Core, which supports true side-by-side app versioning.
  • New tooling that simplifies modern wWeb development.
  • Single aligned web stack for Web UI and Web APIs.
  • Cloud-ready environment-based configuration.
  • Built-in support for dependency injection.
  • Tag Helpers which makes Razor markup more natural with HTML.
  • Ability to host on IIS or self-host in your own process.

ASP.NET Core - Create New Project

You can start building a new ASP.NET Core Application from the  File → New Project  menu option. On the New Project dialog box, you will see the following three different templates for Web projects − ASP.NET Web Application  − The simple ASP.NET application templates . ASP.NET Core Web Application (.NET Core)  − This will start you with a crossplatform compatible project that runs on the .NET Core framework. ASP.NET Core Web Application (.NET Framework)  − This starts a new project that runs on the standard .NET Framework on Windows. In the left pane, select  Templates → Visual C# → Web  and in the middle pane select the ASP.NET Core Web Application (.NET Core) template. Let us call this application  FirstAppDemo  and also specify the Location for your ASP.NET Core project and then Click OK. In the above dialog box, you can select a specific template for the ASP.NET application from the available ASP.NET Core Templates. ...

ASP.NET Core - Attribute Routes

Learn another approach to routing and that is attribute-based routing. With attribute-based routing, we can use C# attributes on our controller classes and on the methods internally in these classes. These attributes have metadata that tell ASP.NET Core when to call a specific controller. It is an alternative to convention-based routing. Routes are evaluated in the order that they appear, the order that you register them in, but it's quite common to map multiple routes particularly if you want to have different parameters in the URL or if you want to have different literals in the URL. Example Let us take a simple example. Open the  FirstAppDemo  project and run the application in the browser. When you specify  /about , it will produce the following output − What we want here is that when we specify  /about , the application should invoke the Phone action of the AboutController. Here, we can enforce some explicit routes for this controller using a Ro...

Features of Node.js

Following are some of the important features that make Node.js the first choice of software architects. Asynchronous and Event Driven  − All APIs of Node.js library are asynchronous, that is, non-blocking. It essentially means a Node.js based server never waits for an API to return data. The server moves to the next API after calling it and a notification mechanism of Events of Node.js helps the server to get a response from the previous API call. Very Fast  − Being built on Google Chrome's V8 JavaScript Engine, Node.js library is very fast in code execution. Single Threaded but Highly Scalable  − Node.js uses a single threaded model with event looping. Event mechanism helps the server to respond in a non-blocking way and makes the server highly scalable as opposed to traditional servers which create limited threads to handle requests. Node.js uses a single threaded program and the same program can provide service to a much larger number of requests than t...
