Getting Started with .NET Core

Welcome to the world of .NET Core! This guide will walk you through the basics.

What is .NET Core?

.NET Core is a cross-platform, open-source programming language and framework for building server-side applications. It's built for performance, scalability, and security.

Core Concepts

- Classes: The foundation of object-oriented programming in .NET Core. Crucial for creating reusable code.

- Models: Represent data, often used for data access and data validation.

- Services: Reusable components that perform specific tasks. Promote modularity and testability.

- Tokens: Lightweight, immutable code snippets that compile into running code. Provide a way to create reusable functions and libraries.

Getting Started

- Project Setup: Create a new .NET Core project using the command line or Visual Studio. 'dotnet new console' works well for simple projects.

- Console Application: A simple console application to demonstrate the core concepts.

Code Example

                
                using Microsoft.Container;

                namespace CoreExample
                {
                    class Program
                    {
                        static void Main(string[] args)
                        {
                            Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");
                        }
                    }
                

- This example demonstrates creating a simple console application. You can expand this to build more complex applications.
