Hands-On Full-Stack Web Development with ASP.NET Core

By: Tamir Dresher, Amir Zuker, Shay Friedman

Overview of this book

Today, full-stack development is the name of the game. Developers who can build complete solutions, including both backend and frontend products, are in great demand in the industry, hence being able to do so a desirable skill. However, embarking on the path to becoming a modern full-stack developer can be overwhelmingly difficult, so the key purpose of this book is to simplify and ease the process. This comprehensive guide will take you through the journey of becoming a full-stack developer in the realm of the web and .NET. It begins by implementing data-oriented RESTful APIs, leveraging ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework. Afterward, it describes the web development field, including its history and future horizons. Then, you’ll build webbased Single-Page Applications (SPAs) by learning about numerous popular technologies, namely TypeScript, Angular, React, and Vue. After that, you’ll learn about additional related concerns involving deployment, hosting, and monitoring by leveraging the cloud; specifically, Azure. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build, deploy, and monitor cloud-based, data-oriented, RESTful APIs, as well as modern web apps, using the most popular frameworks and technologies.

Client-side routing


Most apps today use client-side routing, which helps with the following key aspects:

  • App sections can be made shareable and navigable. For example, the Everyday Market app could benefit substantially if users were able to share links that display a specific product directly.
  • Properly designed routes can make the user understand the context better. Additionally, users might find it trivial enough to even change the URL manually to get to the page or level they want.
  • Client-side routing also improves usability through integration with the built-in back and forward browser buttons.
  • Combined with isomorphic (server-side) rendering, client-side routingcan assist greatly with Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

Client-side routing is made possible due to the fact that the app can tweak the browser URL to reflect certain areas it chooses to support routing for. For many years, the use of named anchors, via the hash symbol (#), was used to implement routes. Thanks to the newer HTML5...
