ASP.NET Core Overview

What is ASP.NET Core?

ASP.NET Core is a redesign of the ASP.NET framework that combines MVC, Web API, and Razor Pages into a single unified programming model. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and can be hosted in IIS, Nginx, Apache, Docker, or as a self‑contained app.

Key Features

• Cross‑platform runtime ( .NET 8+ )
• High‑performance, modular architecture
• Built‑in dependency injection
• Unified configuration and logging
• Razor Pages for page‑focused development
• SignalR for real‑time web functionality

Getting Started

Install the .NET SDK and create a new project using the dotnet CLI:

dotnet new webapp -o MyAspNetCoreApp
cd MyAspNetCoreApp
dotnet run

Navigate to http://localhost:5000 to see the default template.
