Fully updated to ASP.NET 3.1, ASP.NET Core in Action, Second Edition is a hands-on primer to building cross-platform web applications with your C# and .NET skills. Even if you’ve never worked with ASP.NET you’ll start creating productive cross-platform web apps fast. And don’t worry about late-breaking changes to ASP.NET Core. With this Manning Early Access Program edition you’ll get updates right up until it ships to the printer, so you’re always working with the latest version of the technology.

About the Technology

ASP.NET Core is a highly flexible, high performance cross platform web framework that’s entirely free and open source. ASP.NET Core developers enjoy choice without compromise, benefiting from both a mature, well-supported stack and the freedom to develop and deploy from and onto any cloud or on-prem platform. Now in version 3.1, the latest version of ASP.NET Core includes powerful new additions for building server-side apps and background services.

About the book

Along the way, you’ll mix in important process steps like testing, multiplatform deployment, and security. Fully updated to version 3.1 and primed for live updating to .NET 5, this new edition fully covers new features such as server-side apps with Razor Pages, and the new ASP.NET Core hosting paradigm.
