Introducing Practical Applications of C# and .NET
The third part of this book is about practical applications of C# and .NET. You will learn how to build cross-platform projects such as websites, web services, Windows desktop apps, and cross-platform mobile apps, as well as how to add intelligence to them with machine learning.
Microsoft calls platforms for building applications App Models.
I recommend that you work through this and subsequent chapters sequentially because later chapters will reference projects in earlier chapters, and you will build up sufficient knowledge and skills to tackle the trickier problems in later chapters.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Understanding app models for C# and .NET
- New features in ASP.NET Core
- Understanding SignalR
- Understanding Blazor
- Understanding the bonus chapters
- Building an entity data model for Northwind
