Setting Up the Environment

You have decided to learn about ASP.NET Core 2.0, the most advanced and efficient cross-platform web application framework on the market today. A very good choice! You are surely eager to start programming right away, but before we can begin, we must set up the required technical prerequisites and tools.

Learning ASP.NET Core 2.0 is a great book. It is both simple and detailed. The point of this book is that it does not just cover ASP.NET Core 2.0 framework but it also provides insight into how to manage the life cycle of an application in a Microsoft environment. The implementation of a continuous integration pipeline is thus described step by step and will allow you to start efficiently with VSTS and Visual Studio.I appreciated how the authors began by describing the framework's concepts and its history to end up with a functional application addressing many ASP.NET Core features that serves as a guide throughout the book.

Disclosure: I was a technical reviewer of this book and worked with Packt to provide feedback on the code and technical aspects of the text.I have reviewed several books this year centering around .NET Core. I can honestly say that I felt this book was the most engaging read of them all. The authors do a very good job of writing in a way that makes the reader feel as if they are part of a conversation about ASP.NET Core. Each topic is introduced in a fun and interactive manner. Throughout the course of the book, you'll learn to build a Tic-Tac-Toe game with ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework Core. It is much easier to read this book cover-to-cover than the average programming reference book.I would recommend this book to any developer who wants to get up and running with ASP.NET Core 2.0. Whether you have a background in ASP.NET or not, you will learn everything you need here. You'll get everything you need to either build a simple website or start your next large-scale projects at work. Enterprises need to think about security, scalability, and deployment concerns. All of these topics are covered in depth in the latter half of Learning ASP.NET Core 2.0. Other topics covered are MVC (the Model-View-Controller pattern), Web API, hosting and monitoring.

Consultant / Formateur sur la plateforme de développement Microsoft .NET depuis plus de 15 ans, je lis constamment des ouvrages pour améliorer mes connaissances, avoir différents points de vus sur des solutions ou des concepts ...Mon avis sur ce livre est le suivant : si vous souhaitez apprendre à concevoir et développer des applications Web avec ASP .NET Core 2.0, alors ce livre est fait pour vous. Je dispense des formations et recommande cet ouvrage à mes stagiaires. Pourquoi ? - Il est écrit en anglais, mais reste très compréhensible par toute personne ayant des bases en anglais - Il aborde beaucoup de thèmes techniques de manière progressive et pédagogique : connaissances techniques dans un premier temps. Puis mise en oeuvre, pas à pas, de manière concrète par un exemple ou un cas pratique. Tout au long du livre, vous créez une application Web : le jeu de morpions (tic tac toe).Je recommande ce livre et merci aux auteurs de l'avoir écrit. J'ai déjà co-écrit un livre sur le développement d'applications Web avec ASP .NET 4.0 et je sais le travail que demande l'écriture d'un tel ouvrage.

The book is an excellent introduction to ASP.Net core V2.0It leads the reader to understand all basic (and some advanced) aspects of this technology that allows writing quickly web applications and is much simpler than the standard .NET framework.
