Technical requirements

We'll use the following tools and services in this chapter:

• Visual Studio 2019: We'll use this to edit our ASP.NET code. This can be downloaded and installed from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/.
• .NET 5: This can be downloaded from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/5.0.
• Auth0: We will use this to authenticate and manage users. The service is free to try and do some testing with, and an account can be created at https://auth0.com/signup.
• Postman: We'll use this to try out the changes to our REST API in this chapter. This can be downloaded from https://www.getpostman.com/downloads/.
• Q&A: We'll start with the Q&A starter project for this chapter. This is the backend project we finished in the previous chapter with all the controller methods asynchronous. This is available on GitHub at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/ASP.NET-Core-5-and-React-Second-Edition in the chapter-11/start folder.
