Overview of this book

The ASP.NET Core 2.0 Framework has been designed to meet all the needs of today’s web developers. It provides better control, support for test-driven development, and cleaner code. Moreover, it’s lightweight and allows you to run apps on Windows, OSX and Linux, making it the most popular web framework with modern day developers. This book takes a unique approach to web development, using real-world examples to guide you through problems with ASP.NET Core 2.0 web applications. It covers Visual Studio 2017- and ASP.NET Core 2.0-specifc changes and provides general MVC development recipes. It explores setting up .NET Core, Visual Studio 2017, Node.js modules, and NuGet. Next, it shows you how to work with Inversion of Control data pattern and caching. We explore everyday ASP.NET Core MVC 2.0 patterns and go beyond it into troubleshooting. Finally, we lead you through migrating, hosting, and deploying your code. By the end of the book, you’ll not only have explored every aspect of ASP.NET Core MVC 2.0, you’ll also have a reference you can keep coming back to whenever you need to get the job done.

Typescript


JavaScript is around 22 years old, at the time of writing. But still, it lacks some modern software development principles, such as, OOP, strong-type, and more.

Note

OOP usually refers to the ability of encapsulation, abstraction, polymorphism, and inheritance. JavaScript has some techniques that mimic these concepts, but not in a native way, such as interfaces, classes, access modifiers, and so on.

Typescript is a modern way to develop JavaScript applications. Typescript is a superset of JavaScript, and it means that whatever you can do in JavaScript, you can do in Typescript.

Typescript gives you static typing, classes, interfaces, access modifiers, asynchronous execution, and so on, while JavaScript doesn't have those facilities. You can develop a frontend application using Typescript, and the Typescript compiler transpiles your code, turning it into equivalent JavaScript code. After all, the browser only understands JavaScript, so all Typescript code must be converted to JavaScript...
