Overview of this book

With the rise in the number of tools and technologies available today, developers and architects are always exploring ways to create better and smarter solutions. Before, the differences between target platforms was a major roadblock, but that's not the case now. .NET Core 2.0 By Example will take you on an exciting journey to building better software. This book provides fresh and relevant content to .NET Core 2.0 in a succinct format that’s enjoyable to read. It also delivers concepts, along with the implications, design decisions, and potential pitfalls you might face when targeting Linux and Windows systems, in a logical and simple way. With the .NET framework at its center, the book comprises of five varied projects: a multiplayer Tic-tac-toe game; a real-time chat application, Let'sChat; a chatbot; a microservice-based buying-selling application; and a movie booking application. You will start each chapter with a high-level overview of the content, followed by the above example applications described in detail. By the end of each chapter, you will not only be proficient with the concepts, but you’ll also have created a tangible component in the application. By the end of the book, you will have built five solid projects using all the tools and support provided by the .NET Core 2.0 framework.

  1. Create a new ASP.NET Core 2.0 MVC app named MovieBooking, as we did in the Creating a simple running code section of Chapter 1, Getting Started.
  2. If you wish to add authentication in your web app, you can click on the Change Authentication button at the time of selecting the template, as shown in the following screenshot:

A new dialog will display, as shown in the following screenshot, which will offer multiple authentication options to us, as we discussed in Chapter 3, Building Our First .NET Core Game – Tic-Tac-Toe. To keep things simple, you can select Individual User Accounts and then choose Store user accounts in-app. This will do all the boilerplate code...
