Getting Started with ASP.NET Core For Beginners

Learn the basics and core concepts of ASP.NET Core and get started with developing APIs using ASP.NET Core.

Exploring ASP.NET Core Fundamentals - Building the Host

When an AspNetCore application starts up for execution, the first method to be called is the main() method inside the Program.cs file. Inside the main() method, an AspNetCore application builds a "Host" and invokes Run() method on it.

Exploring ASP.NET Core Fundamentals - The Startup class

A Startup class is a simple C# class used to configure and construct an application request pipeline. It is one of the very first components which are picked up and executed by the aspnetcore runtime during application bootstrapping.

Understanding Dependency Injection and Usage in ASP.NET Core

While developing applications in the AspNetCore environment, we seldom use a "new" keyword to create new instance of a Dependency required in our components. We often come across terms like services, container, IoC and - Dependency Injection.

Exploring ASP.NET Core Fundamentals - Understanding Singleton Transient and Scoped Service Lifetimes

Learn in-detail about services and how the different service types in ASP.NET Core - Singleton, Transient and Scoped services differ from each other in terms of object lifetime.

Exploring ASP.NET Core Fundamentals - Understanding ORMs and Using EF Core

Entity Framework Core (shortly known as EF Core) is an ORM (object relational mapper) developed by Microsoft for .NET Framework. It is lightweight, extensible and open-sourced similar to the features of Dotnet Core.

Exploring ASP.NET Core Fundamentals - Understanding Middlewares

A middleware can be termed as a handler module that runs before a request reaching a controller. A middleware can read an input request and can modify the request or decide if it can go further or needs to be responded back within itself.

Exploring ASP.NET Core Fundamentals - Creating a Strongly typed Configuration class

Sometimes we might want to add a wrapper over the IConfiguration which can help us in transforming the values as per our expectations. This can also mean that we wouldn't need to go for additional typecasting from the IConfiguration dictionary each time.

Getting Started with Serving Static Files using ASP.NET Core

Static files are asset files such as css, javascript and plain HTML files in addition to the document files and images. These files are generally preserved for various scenarios and need to be served over the Internet; either as a part of rendering or to download for the end users.

Exploring ASP.NET Core Fundamentals - Hosting a Web Application

AspNetCore supports deploying and running applications on Windows, Linux and MacOS environments as well by means of a hosting bundle provided by AspNetCore. This hosting bundle provides the necessary runtime for the application to run without any issues; be it a Linux, Mac or a Windows environment.
