This workshop provides a comfortable learning path to ASP.NET Core that spans over all the topics a developer must know to use the framework and build and publish Web applications. Although completely new under the covers, ASP.NET Core still looks pretty familiar to many because of the close similarity with the ASP.NET MVC programming model. The workshop focuses on the parts that have been redesigned (runtime, middleware, DI) and the new peaks of potential performance it enables to reach. In the end, you’ll find a balanced mix of architectural descriptions and hands-on demos of how to tackle in ASP.NET Core the common tasks of a Web application: configuration, authentication, error handling, logging, rendering views, posting data, exposing JSON, and so forth.
