You're a developer who knows nothing about ASP.NET Core MVC. Which is fine, except that you need to start coding your next application using ASP.NET Core 1.1 MVC and Visual Studio 2017.
Don't worry: I have you covered. I've been training hundreds of developers like you during 15 years, and converted my experience into this book. I know from experience teaching what takes more time to learn in ASP.NET Core MVC, and will spend time only where appropriate.
Plus this book is packed with exercises which build up into a full project: you develop a small e-commerce sample web site. You'll allow users to browse for products, and you'll also create a back-end where authenticated users will be able to list and edit products.
Read this book, and you can code your ASP.NET Core MVC application using Visual Studio 2017 within a week.
What this book is not
I made my best to keep this book small, so that you can learn ASP.NET Core quickly without getting lost in petty details. If you are looking for a reference book where you'll find answers to all the questions you may have within the next 4 years of your ASP.NET Core practice, you'll find other heavy books for that.
My purpose is to swiftly provide you with the tools you need to code your first ASP.NET Core application and be able to look for more by yourself when needed. While some authors seem to pride themselves in having the thickest book, in this series I'm glad I achieved the thinnest possible book for my purpose. Though I tried my best to keep all of what seems necessary, based on my 15 years experience of teaching .NET.
