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.

Creating a production environment with Azure App Service


Azure App Service is a family of services that are provided as PaaS in Azure and help you to build apps that can be used by web and mobile clients. You can use Azure App Service with a wide range of programming languages and technologies—Node.js, Java, PHP, and, of course, .NET—and can create Web Apps, API Apps, Mobile Apps, and Logic Apps without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. 

There are many features that Azure App Service provides to assist with application lifecycle development, such as automatic deployment options, the management of application settings that can be modified based on the environment (deployment slots), easy manual and automatic scaling options, security control, monitoring, and troubleshooting utilities, to name just a few. 

App Service plan

Azure App Service separates the hosted application and the resources it uses by using a concept called App Service Plan. The App Service plan defines the computing...
