Over the years, web apps have been successful in replacing desktop apps due to many advantages. Web Apps can be easily updated, deployed and they are not bound to a single platform. As technology improved, the need for better user experience increased. And this need gave birth to one of the most important development pattern called Single Page Application Development.
Single Page Applications are built for the web that offer more dynamic interactions resembling native mobile, tablets or desktop apps. As the user navigates through the application, the page does not reload rather new content is shown on the same page asynchronously. This enhances user experience. SPAs have been around for many years now. And over the years, SPAs have seen a wide-range adoption in the industry. As SPAs became more popular, many JavaScript Frameworks came into existence that help you write clean and well-architected JavaScript/TypeScript code.
Introduction to Angular
Take a noun, add .JS to it and you probably have a framework that exists. Out of those many open source JavaScript frameworks like Angular, React, Aurelia, VueJS, BackboneJS and others. Google's Angular Framework has been one of the hottest client-side technology in the recent years and has seen the most attraction in the developer community. Angular is also the most preferred SPA framework in the Enterprise till date. Due to some limitations in its predecessors, Google decided to rewrite Angular Framework from scratch and came with Angular 2 commonly known as Angular, that gave developers the flexibility to create modular, testable and easily maintainable apps. Recently in January 2018, Angular v5.2 was released.
Introduction to ASP.NET Core
To spice up these SPAs with data, there has to be a server-side technology that renders data to these SPAs. One such web development framework that saw a huge developer interest is ASP.NET Core. ASP.NET Core is a much leaner version of ASP.NET Framework that allows developers to create modular next-generation web applications. Some of the benefits include extensive support for latest JavaScript Frameworks, combined MVC and Web API Support, full support for .NET Core and .NET Standard, new project templates, new Razor Pages support, backward compatibility to run on .NET Framework 4.6.1 and much more, that enable developers to build next generation cloud-friendly APIs and web applications.
ASP.NET Core promotes industry standard best practices and has built in dependency injection mechanism. It has a lightweight, high-performance, and modular HTTP request pipeline. It also came up with easier dependencies and better CLI and Visual tooling that give developers a smooth development experience.
