Pro ASP.NET Core 7, Tenth Edition 10th ed. Edition

This book, while not perfect is written and crafted with care and attention to detail. The tech book space is littered with crap. I love this book...most of it.I would love for some of the ASP.NET Core concepts to be taught in a little more of a reference type isolated fashion, as many of the examples are heavily married to example projects which can be a pain in the ass when you need a quick answer.Not a huge fan of so much attention to things like Blazor. However, it's part of the game, and while I am not a fan of the inclusion proportion, it's incredibly well done and presented.Overall, while it may not function as much as I would have liked in a reference sense, I would say every inch is tightly presented. No loose threads, no slop like many tech books you read. The author says this was probably his best book written and I while I have not read any of his other books, I would say that doesn't sound like a stretch.Also, this author doesn't use fake reviews and I admire that.There's only 4 reviews for this book!!! Damn. We need to support honest writers like this, as I am starting to see crap books float to the top with bogus reviews.Just for the hell of it, I ran Freeman's work through Fakespot, and he is 100% legit, and his entire store got an 'A'. Real deal.

This book is unique in its approach to teaching the .NET world, starting from the basics and delving into key concepts such as project structure, tools, testing, URL management, DI, MVC, Blazor, and authentication.It takes time to read, as it thoroughly explains all related code and examples to build the reader’s confidence. The book is divided into four parts.Part-1 covers development tools, basic C# features, testing, and a small real-world application.Part-2 delves into project design and configuration, security, and data interaction.Part-3 focuses on building a real-world project, including MVC and model binding.Part-4 is dedicated to Blazor server and WASM applications, as well as a detailed explanation of ASP.NET Core identity.The book is filled with well-explained code examples, covering all essential aspects of web development.

This book will help beginner .NET developers ramp up to using ASP.NET Core 7 quickly and the book simultaneously will give the experienced .NET developers additional insights to more efficiently use ASP.NET Core 7. The examples throughout the book will give the reader a good base of sample code to refer to throughout their working days. I am confident that this book will challenge readers to better practices.
