.NET Core

a cross-platform and open-source implementation of .NET for the cloud age while remaining compatible with the .NET Framework. It is used for Linux, macOS, and Windows apps.

ASP.NET

A framework developed by Microsoft extending the .NET platform with tools and libraries to build dynamic webpages on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Docker.

Blazor

A feature of ASP.NET that allows the creation of interactive web UIs without writing JavaScript.

_______ with libraries, databases, and template pages for handling logins,
including multi-factor and external authentication requirements for online accounts

Web Forms

Building dynamic websites are possible using a drag-and-drop, event-driven model.

• A design surface and numerous controls and components allow rapidly-build yet powerful UI-driven sites with data access using a rich library of controls with HTML markup encapsulation.
  

ASP.NET MVC

Model View Controller, a design pattern separating user interfaces with business logic.

• This framework includes features that enable fast, TDD-friendly (test-driven development) for creating applications.

• This has full control over the HTML markup, the separated code and markup, and the easy-to-write test.

• It is the best choice for mobile and single-page applications

ASP.NET Web Pages

a fast, approachable, and lightweight way to combine server code with

ASP.NET Web API

A framework for building HTTP services accessible via browsers and mobile devices.

ASP.NET SignalR

A library that facilitates real-time web functionality by enabling bidirectional communication between the server and client browser.

Single-page applications (SPA)

helps build applications with major client-side interactions using HTML 5, CSS 3, and JavaScript that load an HTML webpage and dynamically updates it as the user interacts with the app.

Mobile apps and sites

ASP.NET can power native mobile apps with a Web API back end. The same applies to mobile websites using responsive design frameworks

ASP.NET Core

Web root

A folder, usually named wwwroot, that serves as the path for resource files such as images, stylesheets, and JavaScript.

Program.cs

The file where application startup code is located and where services required by the ASP.NET Core app are configured.

Host

An object built on startup that encapsulates all app resources including logging, configuration, middleware, and dependency injection services.

Middleware

Software components arranged into an application pipeline to control how HTTP requests and responses are handled.

Dependency Injection (DI) Services

A feature that makes configured services available throughout the application.

WebApplication

Also known as the Minimal Host, it is the host type most commonly used in ASP.NET Core templates.

Developer Exception Page
