Book Description

In the ASP.NET Core ecosystem, choosing the right JavaScript framework is key to addressing diverse project requirements. Witten by a four-time Microsoft MVP with 16 years of software development experience, this book is your comprehensive guide to mastering full-stack development, combining ASP.NET Core’s robust backend capabilities with the dynamic frontend power of Vue.js, Angular, and React.

This book uses ASP.NET Core to teach you best practices for integrating modern JavaScript frameworks, and creating responsive, high-performance applications that deliver seamless client–server interactions and scalable RESTful APIs. In addition to building expertise in ASP.NET Core’s core strengths, such as API security, architecture principles, and performance optimization, the chapters will help you develop the essential frontend skills needed for full-stack development. Sections on Blazor take a C#-based approach to creating interactive UIs, showcasing ASP.NET Core’s flexibility in handling both server and client-side needs.

By the end of this book, you will have a complete toolkit for designing, deploying, and maintaining complex full-stack applications, along with practical knowledge of both backend and frontend development.
