Introduction to .NET web development with ASP.NET Core

ASP.NET Core is a comprehensive framework within the .NET ecosystem designed for modern web development that effectively and efficiently addresses these challenges.

ASP.NET Core provides the tools and libraries needed to implement features and more, efficiently and seamlessly, ensuring a high-quality user experience and robust application performance.

ASP.NET Core provides a productive development experience, enabling developers to build high-quality full stack web apps efficiently and effectively.

ASP.NET Core helps you build secure applications thanks to its robust built-in security features for authentication and authorization. These features help applications manage user identities and protect sensitive data effectively.

What is ASP.NET Core?

  1. ASP.NET Core is a cross-platform, high-performance framework for building modern web applications.

  2. This open-source framework allows developers to create web applications, services, and APIs that can run on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

  3. It is built for large-scale app development and can handle any size workload, making it a robust choice for enterprise-level applications.

Full stack web development

ASP.NET Core is a full stack web framework that seamlessly integrates front-end and back-end development needs within a single consistent framework:

  • For front-end development, ASP.NET Core includes Blazor, a component-based web UI framework based on C# that supports both server-side rendering and client-side rendering via WebAssembly.
    • WebAssembly: means that you can write a code using any programming language(C#) with HTML and CSS.
  • Alternatively, ASP.NET Core can be integrated with JavaScript front-end frameworks like Angular, React, and Vue.

ASP.NET Core is a powerful framework for API development:

  • It supports creating JSON-based APIs, gRPC services, and real-time services using SignalR.
  • With built-in OpenAPI support, developers can easily generate and visualize API documentation, simplifying the design and consumption of APIs.
  • You can use ASP.NET Core to build back-end APIs for a variety of apps, including web apps and native mobile apps.
