Synopsis

Audience

This book was written for anyone interested in learning one of the most effective and widely-used technology stacks for developing highly-interactive, professional-grade, database-driven Web applications—ASP.NET Core Razor Pages, C#.NET, HTML, Bootstrap, CSS, JavaScript, and Entity Framework Core—including novice software developers, professional software developers, and college or university students enrolled in a one-semester course or two-semester sequence of courses in Web application development.

Organization

Part I provides an overview of some of the major concepts and technologies associated with ASP.NET Core Web application development as well as ASP.NET Core solutions and projects.

Part II describes how to develop an ASP.NET Core Web application, including how to create and use HTML elements and how to perform model validation to keep bad data out of the system. The concepts in this part of the book will lay the foundation required for learning the C# programming language in the context of an ASP.NET Core Web application.

Part III describes how to program in the C# programming language, including how to perform assignment, conversion, control, string, arithmetic, date and time, array, collection, and file system operations and how to create custom C# classes—in the context of an ASP.NET Core Web application.

Part IV describes how to develop a multiple-page ASP.NET Core Web application, including how to maintain the application’s state and how to use layout pages to give the pages of the application a consistent look.

Part V describes how to improve the user experience of an ASP.NET Core Web application, including how to use Bootstrap to make the application responsive and attractive when displayed on a phone, tablet, laptop, and desktop, how to use Cascading Style Sheets to style HTML elements consistently across all the pages of the application, and how to use JavaScript to write code that needs to be executed in the browser.

Part VI describes how to connect an ASP.NET Core Web application to a SQL Server database, including how to install and use Entity Framework Core, how to perform database query operations, and how to perform database table maintenance.

Part VII describes how to create an ASP.NET Core Web application service, including a NetMail email service and a MailKit email service.

Features

Real-Life Examples

A significant proportion of the examples in the text are drawn from the real-life experiences of the author’s own software development practice that began in 1987.

Clear-Minded, Consistent, and Concise Prose

Every effort has been made to present concepts clearly and logically, utilize consistent language and terminology across all chapters, and articulate concepts fully yet concisely.

Accessible Language

Although the subject matter of this book is highly technical and specialized, trendy and/or arcane language that is inaccessible to the average learner is either clearly defined or replaced in favor of clear and generalizable terminology.
