Overview of this book

.NET Core is a general purpose, modular, cross-platform, and open source implementation of .NET. With the latest release of .NET Core, many more APIs are expected to show up, which will make APIs consistent across .Net Framework, .NET Core, and Xamarin. This step-by-step guide will teach you the essential .NET Core and C# concepts with the help of real-world projects. The book starts with a brief introduction to the latest features of C# 7 and .NET Core 2.0 before moving on to explain how C# 7 can be implemented using the object-oriented paradigm. You'll learn to work with relational data using Entity Framework and see how to use ASP.NET Core practically. This book will show you how .NET Core allows the creations of cross-platform applications. You'll also learn about SignalR to add real-time functionality to your application. Then you will see how to use MongoDB and how to implement MongoDB into your applications. You'll learn about serverless computing and OAuth concepts, along with running ASP.NET Core applications with Docker Compose. This project-based guide uses practical applications to demonstrate these concepts. By the end of the book, you'll be proficient in developing applications using .NET Core 2.0.

Technical requirements

To follow along with the first part of the chapter, you'll need the WinForms designer. At the time of writing, this is in pre-release and can be downloaded from https://aka.ms/winforms-designer.

For the XAML Islands section, you will need to be running Windows 10 1903 or later. By the time this book is published, it is expected that the 1903 release will have been delivered automatically to all Windows 10 machines; however, if you are running an earlier version, then you can force an update by visiting the following link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10.

At the time of writing, this WinForms designer was nowhere near ready for production. Try it out while following the chapter; however, if you find that it is too glitchy, feel free to copy the designer code from the GitHub project.
