Summary

In this chapter, you learned the foundations of building a modern web application with C# and Razor Pages. You focused on important concepts at the beginning of the chapter, such as middleware, logging, DI, and configuration. Next, you used Razor Pages to create CRUD models along with Entity Framework and used some more advanced features, such as custom tag helpers, partial pages, and view components, which enable you to create more easily maintainable application features.

Finally, you saw how ASP.NET model binding works so that there can be a two-way data binding between the client and the server. By now, you should have an effective foundation for building modern web applications with ASP.NET and Razor Pages on your own.

Over the next two chapters, you will learn about building and communicating with APIs.
