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.

Become a MEAN Stack Developer

The MEAN stack is  MongoDB ,  Express.js ,  AngularJS  (or  Angular ), and  Node.js . Because all components of the MEAN stack support programs written in JavaScript, MEAN applications can be written in one language for both  server-side  and  client-side  execution environments. MEAN  was coined by Valeri Karpov, a MongoDB developer. He introduced the term in a blog post. The logo concept, initially created by Austin Anderson for the original MEAN stack  LinkedIn  group, is an assembly of the first letter of each component of the MEAN acronym. The components of the MEAN stack are as follows: M ongoDB, a NoSQL database E xpress.js, a web application framework that runs on Node.js A ngular.js or  A ngular, JavaScript MVC frameworks that run in browser JavaScript engines N ode.js, an execution environment for event-driven server-side and networking appl...
