Pro ASP.NET Core 3 (Develop Cloud-Ready Web Applications Using MVC 3, Blazor, and Razor Pages)

Professional developers will produce leaner applications for the ASP.NET Core platform using the guidance in this best-selling book, now in its 8th edition and updated for ASP.NET Core 3. It contains detailed explanations of the ASP.NET Core platform and the application frameworks it supports. This edition puts ASP.NET Core 3 into context and dives deep into the tools and techniques required to build modern, extensible, web applications. New features and capabilities such as MVC 3, Razor Pages, Blazor Server, and Blazor WebAssembly are covered, along with demonstrations of how they are applied.

ASP.NET Core 3 is the latest evolution of Microsoft’s ASP.NET web platform and provides a "host-agnostic" framework and a high-productivity programming model that promotes cleaner code architecture, test-driven development, and powerful extensibility.

Best-selling author Adam Freeman has thoroughly revised this market-leading book and explains how to get the most from ASP.NET Core 3. He starts with the nuts-and-bolts topics, teaching you about middleware components, built-in services, request model binding, and more. As you gain knowledge and confidence, he introduces increasingly more complex topics and advanced features, including endpoint routing and dependency injection. He goes in depth to give you the knowledge you need.

This book follows the same format and style as the popular previous editions but brings everything up-to-date for the new ASP.NET Core 3 release and broadens the focus to include all of the ASP.NET Core platform.
