Summary
In this chapter, you learned about the foundations of web development using HTTP, how to build a simple website that returns static files, and you used ASP.NET Core Razor Pages with Entity Framework Core to create web pages that were dynamically generated from information in a database.
We reviewed the HTTP request and response pipeline, what the helper extension methods do, and how you can add your own middleware that affects processing.
In the next chapter, you will learn how to build more complex websites using ASP.NET Core MVC, which separates the technical concerns of building a website into models, views, and controllers to make them easier to manage.
