## Description

Visual Studio 2017 updates for this book are now available. Follow the Download Source Code link for this book on the Apress website. Now in its 6th edition, the best selling book on MVC is now updated for ASP.NET Core MVC. It contains detailed explanations of the new Core MVC functionality which enables developers to produce leaner, cloud optimized and mobile-ready applications for the .NET platform. This book puts ASP.NET Core MVC into context and dives deep into the tools and techniques required to build modern, cloud optimized extensible web applications. All the new MVC features are described in detail and the author explains how best to apply them to both new and existing projects. The ASP.NET Core MVC Framework is the latest evolution of Microsoft’s ASP.NET web platform, built on a completely new foundation. It represents a fundamental change to how Microsoft constructs and deploys web frameworks and is free of the legacy of earlier technologies such as Web Forms. ASP.NET Core MVC provides a "host agnostic" framework and a high-productivity programming model that promotes cleaner code architecture, test-driven development, and powerful extensibility. Best-selling author Adam Freeman has thoroughly revised this market-leading book and explains how to get the most from ASP.NET Core MVC. He starts with the nuts-and-bolts and shows you everything through to advanced features, going in-depth to give you the knowledge you need. This book follows the same format and style as the popular previous editions but brings everything up to date for the new ASP.NET Core MVC release. It presents a fully worked case study of a functioning ASP.NET MVC application that readers can use as a template for their own projects. What You Will Learn: Gain a solid architectural understanding of ASP.NET Core MVC Explore the entire ASP.NET MVC Framework as a cohesive whole See how MVC and test-driven development work in action Learn what's new in ASP.NET Core MVC and how best to apply these new features to your own work See how to create RESTful web services and Single Page Applications Build on your existing knowledge of previous MVC releases to get up and running with the new programming model quickly and effectively Who This Book Is For: This book is for web developers with a basic knowledge of ASP.NET and C# who want to incorporate the latest improvements and functionality in the new ASP.NET Core MVC Framework.

Review: Extremely well written guide to learning ASP.NET Core MVC - I am still reading this book but am extremely impressed. The author writes with clarity and is methodically covering this huge topic in an easily digestible manner. Even the sequencing of topics is highly tailored towards incremental learning. For instance he often writes mini-tutorials in a chapter for a related topic (like the Razor engine) just to give you enough acquaintance with it to understand the topic currently in focus. And he will note to expect a much deeper dive later in the book. In this way, the reader is following a virtuous "spiral" of learning, circulating around the breadth of ASP.Net Core MVC but with each turn going to a deeper level of detail, bolstered with concise and relevant examples. This is exactly how I learn best. He also comments on best practices, like how to separate the tasks that your controller versus model versus view should contain; or where your unit tests should live. He's pragmatic though, and where appropriate notes there may be other/different ways that are valid too (like unit testing approaches). I am a long time ASP.NET Web Forms / C# developer and I am eager to start coding new projects with this approach and anticipate referring back to this book for months to come.
Review: Excellent book for both new and experienced developers - This book serves two audiences - developers new to C#/ASP.NET/MVC and developers new to CORE. I think it is very difficult to serve two audiences equally with one book - but this book is as close to perfection as it gets. Every chapter has a synopsis that highlights the differences with ASP.NET 4 / MVC 5. So, experienced reader will pay more attention to Dependency Injection and ViewComponents. There are some areas that I wish were covered deeper (for example, Identity and Memory-based database for unit testing). But it's a 1000-page book already, so I realize that some things will be limited. Given that API Controllers are now no different from regular controller, I think the chapter on API Controllers could be shorter. It goes into details of REST patterns that, while important, isn't specific to ASP.NET. Maybe a link to good resources would be sufficient. Or maybe I am just nitpicking. One nugget is the discussion how [FromBody] and similar attributes are required in API controllers and *why*! I am looking forward to Freeman's upcoming Angular2 book that I hope will go into more details of using ASP.NET in SPA context (less Razor, less JQuery, more API Controllers).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great edition to this series. Many thanks Adam. Best edition yet.
*by K***N on November 27, 2016*

Adam Freeman is my all time favorite author in the asp.net arena. This is his latest book in the series and perhaps his best effort as well. In addition to updating all of the examples and framework coverage that has become a hallmark of this series, Adam also included some basic coverage of some of the c# features that can be confusing even for seasoned programmers that are either approaching c# for the first time or have not programmed in asp.net. I personally feel that Adam went out of his way to make his coverage easy to understand and follow. If someone is new to C# or AspNetCore and approaching this topic with a good background in programming but not necessarily in the subject matter, this is the best book that I could think to recommend.
