Description
A practical guide for building websites and services with mature and proven ASP.NET Core controller-based technologies.
Key Features
Master ASP.NET Core MVC, Web API, and OData for building robust web services.
Get hands-on experience with web testing, security, and containerization techniques.
Learn how to implement Umbraco CMS for content management websites.
Book DescriptionUtilizing .NET for web development is a great solution for building professional-grade websites and services. But getting from a basic project to a full-scale, production-ready system requires more than just business logic and views - it takes an understanding of architecture, maintainability, and scalability. Real-World Web Development with .NET 10 is your guide to bridging that gap. This book is for developers who want to build robust, secure, and maintainable web solutions using battle-tested .NET technologies.
You'll start by designing structured websites using ASP.NET Core MVC, separating concerns, managing dependencies, and writing clean, testable code. From there, you'll build RESTful services with Web API, and use OData for rich, queryable endpoints. You'll cover testing strategies and containerizing your applications. The final section introduces Umbraco CMS, showing you how to integrate content management into your sites-empowering end users to manage content independently.
By the end of the book, you'll have a comprehensive understanding of how to build controller-based websites and services that are scalable, secure, and ready for real-world use. You'll also be able to leverage Umbraco to create flexible, content-driven solutions in a way that's increasingly in demand across organizations and industries.
