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.

Key app parts


After having used Angular CLI and its basic command set, let's review the key parts of the app you just created.

  • main.ts: This is the main entry point, which takes care of bootstrapping the entire application:
 platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule)
   .catch(err => console.log(err));

Note

As you can see, the code uses a browser-compliant mechanism to bootstrap the specified root application module.

  • app.module.ts: This is the root application module, which contains the app-level functional units. While modules are explained in detail in the Modules section, pay close attention to the fact that this module currently declares a specific component, the AppComponent.
  • app.component.ts: This is the root application component that is included as part of the root application module (AppModule). Components are explained later in this chapter—for now, consider this as the root UI component that contains the entire app component graph within it.
