Modern Web Development with ASP.NET Core 3 - Second Edition
So, my new book is out now! The title changed recently from Mastering ASP.NET Core 3 – Second Edition to Modern Web Development with ASP.NET Core 3 – Second Edition. It was Packt’s decision, and I didn’t really bother about that, although I think the former was more accurate. It’s around 700 pages, and it is divided in three parts:
- The Fundamentals of ASP.NET Core
- Improving Productivity
- Advanced Topics
On the first part, we can find the following chapters:
- Getting started with ASP.NET Core
- Configuration
- Routing
- Controllers and Actions
- Views
On the second part, we have:
- Using Forms and Models
- Implementing Razor Pages
- API Controllers
- Reusable Components
- Understanding Filters
- Security
Finally, on the third and last:
- Logging, Tracing, and Diagnostics
- Understanding How Testing Works
- Client-Side Development
- Improving Performance and Scalability
- Real-Time Communication
- Introducing Blazor
- gRPC and Other Topics
- Application Deployment
There is also an appendix on the dotnet tool.
I’d say the highlights are:
- Configuration and feature management
- API controllers including versioning and OData
- Razor Pages
- SignalR
- Blazor
- gRPC
The technical reviewers were Alvin Ashcraft (Microsoft MVP and world famous for Morning Dew) and Prakash Tripathi (Microsoft MVP too).
