Building Web Applications with Visual Studio 2017

More about the book

Learn to build web applications with guidance from three Microsoft MVPs. Start by creating a data application layer using Entity Framework Core and a RESTful service with ASP.NET Core. Then, develop the client-side web application in three different ways: first with ASP.NET Core, then with Angular 2, and finally with React, allowing you to compare these UI frameworks and choose the best fit for your project. .NET Core represents a complete overhaul of the popular .NET and its frameworks, featuring both familiar concepts and significant innovations, particularly in Entity Framework Core and ASP.NET Core. The initial section focuses on the core components of application development with C#: Entity Framework, ASP.NET Core Services, and ASP.NET Core Web Applications. With the rise of JavaScript frameworks, the authors delve into two of the most widely used UI frameworks. You'll begin with TypeScript for clean JavaScript development, utilizing client-side build tools like Gulp, Grunt, and WebPack. Using the same data access layer and RESTful service from the .NET Core application, you'll recreate the UI with Angular 2 and then with React, providing a comprehensive comparison of these technologies. This resource is ideal for intermediate to advanced .NET developers looking to enhance their skills.
