Want to learn how to build ASP.NET Core 2.0 MVC and Razor Page Web Applications? Prerequisites: C# (Intermediate level; including Generics, Reflection and Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)) HTML5/CSS3 (Basic knowledge) This book is primarily aimed at developers who want to learn how to build ASP.NET Core 2.0 MVC and Razor Page applications. You should be an intermediate level C# developer with some experience in HTML5 and CSS3. The C# language won't be explained in any detail. You will learn ASP.NET Core 2.0 by building three applications. The first application will be built using an empty template, the second with the MVC template, and the third with Razor Pages. The goal with the first basic application is to get you familiar with ASP.NET Core 2.0 by adding middleware and services one piece at a time. Then you will create a solution with three projects; the first project will be used to create a shared database with Entity Framework Core 2.0, the second project is a MVC application for the regular user interface, and the third project is an administrator user interface built with Razor Pages. This solution is a video course website, where users can register to gain access to video courses and administrators can add and modify course content and users. If you are already familiar with MVC 5 or ASP.NET Core 1.0/1.1, the content in this book can get you started with ASP.NET Core 2.0 in a fast, no-fluff way. It's important to mention that this book is practical and tactical, where you will learn as you progress through the modules and build real web applications in the process. To spare you countless pages of fluff (filler material), only valuable information, pertinent to the task at hand, is discussed. The benefit is a shorter and more condensed book, which will save you time and give you a more enjoyable experience. This experience is something you can put in your CV when applying for a job or a consultant position, or when negotiating a higher salary. Technologies, frameworks and languages you will use: Visual Studio 2017 ASP.NET Core 2.0 MVC and Razor Pages (new in ASP.NET 2.0) Services (To provide your own functionality as a reusable service) Middleware (To provide you own functionality to HTTP Request pipeline) Entity Framework (To crate and communicate with a database) View Component (To render data in the _Layout view with model data) Dependency Injection (To inject objects into constructors) Bootstrap (Used for styling and to create a responsive design) LINQ (To query the database) Tag Helper (to clean up the HTML and enable re-use) HTML Helper methods (to clean up your HTML and enable re-use) Partial views (to clean up your views and enable re-use) Bower and NuGet (To install necessary libraries) What you will implement: A web application from an empty template An MVC web application using a template An Razor Page web application using a template A data-layer project referenced from the MVC and Razor Page applications I hope you love the book!

Want to learn ASP.NET Core 2.2 MVC, Razor Pages, API, JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and HTTPClient? Prerequisites: C# (Intermediate level; including Generics, Reflection, async/await and Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)) MVC/HTML5/CSS3 (Basic knowledge) I want to welcome you to ASP.NET Core 2.2 MVC, Razor Pages, API, JSON Web Tokens & HttpClient. This book will guide you through creating a video course membership site secured with JSON Web Tokens. This book's target audience is developers who want to learn how to build ASP.NET Core 2.2 MVC, Razor Page, and API applications. The API has JSON Web Token (JWT) authentication and authorization, and the Razor Pages calls the API with HttpClient. You should be an intermediate level C# developer with some experience in MVC, Entity Framework, HTML5, and CSS3. The book presupposes that you have a solid C# foundation with good knowledge in OOP, Linq/Lambda, generics, and asynchronous calls; this is not a book about the C# language. You will learn ASP.NET Core 2.2 by building three applications in five projects. The first application is a UI for users registered with the membership site built with the MVC tem¬plate; the second is an administration UI built with Razor Pages; the third is an API secured with JSON Web Token authentication and authorization that the administration applica¬tion calls with HttpClient. All three applications use several services with differing purpos¬es. Apart from the three application projects, a project for shared resources is created as well as a database project with the sole purpose of handling the shared Entity Framework Core 2.2 database. When finished, you will have created a fully functioning video course website, where users can register to get access to video content, and admini¬strators can add and modify course content and users. You should already be familiar with MVC 5 or ASP.NET Core to get the most from this book; it delivers the content in a fast, no-fluff way. The book is practical and tactical, where you will learn as you progress through the modules and build real web applications in the process. To spare you countless pages of fluff (filler material), only valuable information, pertinent to the task at hand, is discussed. The benefit is a shorter and more condensed book, which will save you time and give you a more enjoyable experience. The goal is to learn ASP.NET Core 2.2 by building web projects: an experience that you can put in your CV when applying for a job or a consultant position, or when negotiating a higher salary. By the end of this book, you will be able to create ASP.NET Core 2.2 applications on your own, which can create, edit, delete, and view data in a database. Technologies, frameworks and languages you will use: Visual Studio 2019 ASP.NET Core 2.2 MVC, Razor Pages and API Services (To provide your own functionality as a reusable service) Middleware (To provide you own functionality to the HTTP Request pipeline) Entity Framework (To crate and communicate with a database) Dependency Injection (To inject objects into constructors) Bootstrap (To style and create a responsive design) LINQ (To query the database) Tag Helper (to clean up the HTML and enable reuse) HTML Helper methods (to clean up your HTML and enable reuse) Partial views (to clean up your views and enable re-use) What you will implement: A Razor Page web application A MVC web application A API web application A data-layer project referenced from the other web applications I hope you love the book!

This book begins with you working along as Scott Guthrie builds a complete ASP.NET MVC reference application. He begins NerdDinner by using the File->New Project menu command within Visual Studio to create a new ASP.NET MVC Application. You'll then incrementally add functionality and features. Along the way you’ll cover how to create a database, build a model layer with business rule validations, implement listing/details data browsing, provide CRUD (Create, Update, Delete) data form entry support, implement efficient data paging, reuse UI using master pages and partials, secure the application using authentication and authorization, use AJAX to deliver dynamic updates and interactive map support, and implement automated unit testing. From there, the bulk of the rest of the book begins with the basic concepts around the model view controller pattern, including the little history and the state of the MVC on the web today. We'll then go into the ways that MVC is different from ASP.NET Web Forms. We'll explore the structure of a standard MVC application and see what you get out of the box. Next we dig deep into routing and see the role URLs play in your application. We'll deep dive into controllers and views and see what role the Ajax plays in your applications. The last third of the book focuses entirely on advanced techniques and extending the framework. In some places, we assume that you're somewhat familiar with ASP.NET WebForms, at least peripherally. There are a lot of ASP.NET WebForms developers out there who are interested in ASP.NET MVC so there are a number of places in this book where we contrast the two technologies. Even if you're not already an ASP.NET developer, you might still find these sections interesting for context, as well as for your own edification as ASP.NET MVC may not be the web technology that you're looking for.
