Learn ASPNET-CORE with Real Code Examples

ASP.NET Core provides MVC, Razor Pages, and API frameworks for flexible web development.

Cross-platform support allows running on Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Built-in dependency injection, middleware pipeline, and modular architecture enable maintainable applications.

Supports asynchronous programming and high-performance networking.

Ideal for cloud-native applications, microservices, and enterprise solutions.

Routing and endpoint mapping

Razor and Blazor templating engines

Entity Framework Core for database access

Authentication, authorization, and security middleware

Logging, caching, and configuration management

Controller - handles HTTP requests and responses

Model - represents data and business logic

View - renders HTML (Razor) or Blazor components

Middleware - intercepts requests/responses for custom logic

Service - reusable business logic or utility classes

Controllers/ - MVC controllers or API endpoints

Models/ - data models and entities

Views/ - Razor pages and templates

wwwroot/ - static files (CSS, JS, images)

Program.cs & Startup.cs - application configuration and middleware pipeline

Define models and database schema

Create controllers and actions

Set up views using Razor or Blazor

Configure middleware pipeline (authentication, logging, etc.)

Test endpoints and deploy to server or cloud

Beginner: simple web app with Razor Pages

Intermediate: REST API with EF Core

Advanced: real-time SignalR application

Expert: microservices and cloud-native architecture

Enterprise: large-scale modular ASP.NET Core solutions

ASP.NET Core vs Node.js/Express: Strongly typed, high performance vs lightweight JS runtime

ASP.NET Core vs Spring Boot: C#/.NET vs Java, similar enterprise capabilities

ASP.NET Core vs Laravel: .NET ecosystem vs PHP ecosystem

ASP.NET Core vs Flask/Slim: Full-featured framework vs micro-framework

ASP.NET Core vs Django: C#/.NET cross-platform vs Python-based web framework
