ASP .NET Core 2 and Angular 5 [Video]

Develop a simple, yet fully-functional, modern web application using ASP.NET Core MVC, Entity Framework, and Angular 5

Writing code is about striking a balance between maintainability and productivity—how quickly you can write it against how much more you have to write in the future. This is a guide that will help you become fluent in both frontend and backend web development by combining the impressive capabilities of ASP.NET Core 2 and Angular 5, from project setup right through the deployment phase. Not only will you learn how Angular 2 can complement your .NET skills and toolkit, you'll also learn everything you need to build a complete dynamic single-page application.

You will use the ASP.NET Core MVC framework to implement a backend with API calls and server-side routing. You will also learn how to put the frontend together using top-notch Angular 5 features for a responsive and mobile-friendly UI

Style and Approach

More than just a technical manual, this guide takes you through the most important technical facets of developing with these two hugely popular frameworks and then demonstrates how to put those skills into practice. This course recognizes that what's really important is the end product.

What You Will Learn

• Use ASP.NET Core to its full extent to create a versatile backend layer based on RESTful APIs
• Consume backend APIs with the brand new Angular 5 HTTP client
• Use RxJS observers to feed the frontend UI asynchronously 
• Use the Entity Framework Core to develop an actual data model
• Configure a web application in order to accept user-defined data and persist it into the database using server-side APIs
• Connect different aspects of the ASP. NET Core framework ecosystem and make them interact with each other for a full-stack web development experience
