ASP.NET Core Changes Every Developer Should Know

By Ed Charbeneau

Elevator Pitch

ASP.NET Core is a ground-up rewrite of the popular .NET web framework. While the fundamental concepts remain the same, many of the underlying layers of the framework have changed. This new version pushes the framework forward with improved modularity, cross-platform adoption and web standardization.

Description

ASP.NET Core MVC (formerly MVC 6) is a ground-up rewrite of the popular .NET web framework. While the fundamental concepts of Model View Controller remain the same, many of the underlying layers of the framework have changed. This new version of MVC pushes the framework forward with improved modularity, cross-platform adoption and web standardization.

In this session we’ll review:

• All new project template and tooling with more options for package management • Flexible JSON-based configuration model created with DevOps in mind • Enhanced routing options to tackle even the toughest scenarios • Baked-in Dependency Injection, putting you in control • TagHelpers for writing server-side HTML that embraces HTML tags and attributes

Notes

There’s been a lot of churn in .NET Core since vNext. This talk catches developers up from ASP.NET Framework 4.6 to ASP.NET Core 1.1.1
