Table of Contents

This book is best read along with "Develop Azure Application" and "Develop Web ERP Software..". The reason is, deployment to Azure is drawn from the Azure book and Database schema and domain explanation is drawn from ERP Software book.

ASP Core is Microsoft's tool to take on JAVA and PHP. It is open source, free and is fully loaded. Unlike the two competitors, it includes all the frameworks required to build applications. For the vast number of ASP developers and community, it is a natural progression to choose ASP Core as the preferred tool for cloud application development and deployment.

This book is organized into 6 chapters, each chapter containing a detailed explanation of the ERP software application development code, to give you in-depth knowledge. A separate chapter is dedicated to MVC application development which is the foundation for ASP Core application development. MVC architecture pattern is the defacto standard for application development and is covered in detail.

Data handling follows a different path in ASP Core applications. You use Entity Framework to handle data and you will find detailed explanation for this technology too.

Using ASP Core middleware you can load configuration and configure the request pipeline. We ensure that you learn all these concepts in a simple and straightforward manner, without jargon.

Once you set up the foundation, you are all set to develop an ERP application and deploy to Azure.
