Key benefits

The most up-to-date book that covers cutting-edge features released in ASP.NET Core 6 and Angular 13

Create a production-ready Single-Page Application (SPA) or Progressive Web Application (PWA)

Adopt a full-stack approach to handle data management, API documentation, Web APIs, end-to-end testing, security, and deployment

Description

Every full-stack ninja needs the tools to operate on front-end and back-end application development. This web app development book takes a hands-on, project-based approach to provide you with all the tools and techniques that web developers need to create, debug, and deploy efficient web applications using ASP.NET Core and Angular. The fifth edition has been updated to cover advanced topics such as Minimal APIs, Web APIs with GraphQL, real-time updates with SignalR, and new features in .NET 6 and Angular 13. You begin by building a data model with Entity Framework Core, alongside utilizing the Entity Core Fluent API and EntityTypeConfiguration class. You'll learn how to fetch and display data and handle user input with Angular reactive forms and front-end and back-end validators for maximum effect. Later, you will perform advanced debugging and explore the unit testing features provided by xUnit.net (.NET 6) and Jasmine, as well as Karma for Angular. After adding authentication and authorization to your apps, you will explore progressive web applications, learning about their technical requirements, testing processes, and how to convert a standard web application to a PWA. By the end of this web development book, you will understand how to tie together the front-end and back-end to build and deploy secure and robust web applications.

Who is this book for?

This book is for experienced ASP.NET developers who already possess some familiarity with ASP.NET Core and Angular and are looking to learn how to use them effectively together. The fully documented code samples (also available on GitHub) and the step-by-step implementation tutorials make this book easy to follow.

This book is well structured, nicely paced and has a project it builds through with a variety of different technologies. The projects are well thought out and demonstrate the techniques discussed within the chapters. It is one of the few books I have come across so far that describes the relationship between .net and Angular well. In years past this was a painful experience so I was delighted to see how far that has progressed.There were several chapters I particularly enjoyed, the first was about a great way of setting up health checks which was something I had reinvented in the past though now I know it is present, will use it. I also enjoyed the progressive web app and sections on Angular Material (instead of the common bootstrap), Observables and SignalR.The pacing of the examples is managed well in a highly readable and engaging style. Best practices are frequently commented on, and refactoring shown in order to achieve that (usually from WET to DRY).For later edition improvements, the angular testing area chapter could be improved slightly. I would like to suggest “ts-mocks” and “ng-mocks” should be considered as they simplify testing without having to create lots of spies etc.The use of SQL functions can make database interaction less painful than some of the queries Entity Framework generates and mention could have been made about the existence of tSqlt which means that there is no excuse for not testing business logic and a good reason to put those joins in the database where they often execute much more efficiently. You can mock test calls to the db easily with the brilliant Nuget package “EntityFrameworkCore.Testing.NSubstitute”.It would have been nice to see the DevOps section be a little more focused on automated deployment running the tests before deployment. The trend for best practices in the industry has been to “Shift-Left” and move the risk of finding bugs and quality issues closer to the development phase as well as infrastructure as code e.g. bicep (for another book?).Automated deployment using the azure static website service and function apps could be considered. Setting up a virtual machine seems overkill – particularly when function apps are so cheap to setup and run.There were a couple of errors in the text of the review copy I received such as a duplicated personal story in chapters 1 and 2 where it is talking about the history of the languages but they should be resolved in later editions. They don’t detract from what is a very useful book however and one that I really enjoyed reading and will come back to.For full disclosure, I was given and asked to review a digital preview copy of this book though the opinions are my own and I have tried to be as balanced in the rating as possible.

At 818 pages there's alot of info packed into this book. Some of the info, such as the history portions are probably unnecessary. Also, screenshots are a little difficult to read and may go out of date as software is updated. But, that's not a fault of the author. If you want to learn Core 6 and angular check it out!

I've taught Advanced Web Development in University for last 4 years; where the main focus of the class is to build a Single-Page Application (SPA). I like that this book balances the fundamental concepts (SPA, ORM, OAuth) with very practical hands-on implementations of CORS, SignalR and many others.The book gradually builds reader's knowledge in both client (forms, observables) and server (Entity Framework) - and then ties the two together. Depending what is your background, you may skip a section or two - but it is also very helpful that it gradually builds two application (OK, health check is almost abandoned half way through - but it is nice to use it later for quick and dirty deployment). I also like the fact that unlike Microsoft, it prefers client and server running as *separate* applications.There are many other little things that come across as gems (authorization chapter alone, as they say, is worth the price)! I definitely use it as one of the guides in my class!

ASP.NET Core 6 and Angular starts with a historical perspective that leads the reader into one of today's most popular stacks. The book is huge, but it covers the most useful aspects of .NET and Angular, and builds a foundation for data access, APIs, and web and mobile client application development and deployment. It is "full-stack", and "end-to-end."If the book is read from beginning to end, then it provides common step-by-step guidance to create a properly designed boilerplate application, but each chapter can be read separately to brush up on what is new and the latest techniques. Some chapters go into deeper concerns, like SEO, security, performance issues, and coding best practices while covering the main subject. I think the only thing missing is relational database design. It's an easy read, and a long ride!This book is a good place to start learning full-stack development with a little bit of knowledge. It is also good for back-end developers to learn front-end development, and vice-versa, and it is also good if you have an old application sitting around that you need to modernize. I would recommend it for learning, and to reference the latest on .NET and Angular.

This book is well written and it says it's for an intermediate programmer but I feel that if you understand the basics of angular you could pick up on this book fairly quickly.The book goes into a history of each version of angular and that is kinda interesting but the thing that drew me to it was the .net 6 information. Also the section on debugging and unit testing is priceless. There needs to be more unit testing in the professional world.I would recommend this book to someone wanting to increate their knowledge of angular and .net6 ac
