Roll up your sleeves and jump into building web applications using .NET Core 2.1 and the most popular JavaScript frameworks. 
You will start by building a data access layer using Entity Framework Core, a RESTful service using ASP.NET Core, and then you will build a web application following the MVC pattern, also using ASP.NET Core. The resulting application is an example e-commerce site using the most appropriate capabilities in .NET Core for building a line of business applications.
The second half of Building Web Applications with .NET Core 2.1 and JavaScriptis dedicated to teaching you how to develop applications on the client with JavaScript, BootStrap, and related tooling such as TypeScript, WebPack, NPM, and more. Each JavaScript framework will build the same UI as the ASP.NET Core web application from the first half of the book, leveraging the same ASP.NET Core RESTful service and Entity Framework Core data access layer. Building the same UI in the different JavaScript frameworks provides the context and knowledge to reasonably compare and contrast the tools.
What You Will Learn <ul>
<li>Ramp up quickly on Entity Framework Core and ASP.NET Core 
</li>
<li>Use TypeScript to deliver better JavaScript 
</li>
<li>Manage your JavaScript build process 
</li>
<li>Know how to build UIs with ASP.NET Core MVC, Angular, and React to make better decisions on which technologies to adopt in your projects</li>
<li>Conduct an apples-to-apples comparison of ASP.NET Core, Angular, and React 
</li>
</ul> Who This Book Is For .NET architects, consultants, and developers who want to modernize their skill set. Some understanding of JavaScript and the Web is useful.

You have a great idea. It is so obviously great that you’re hardly going to have to explain it to people. They’ll see it right away, just like you did. You’re excited. You want to get going. You start telling people about it, people whose help you need to make the idea work. And: blank looks. “Dumb” questions. Resistance. They just don’t get it. How is this possible? And how do you get them to get it? They Just Don’t Get It lays out five keys to solving this common dilemma. With step-by-step guidance, Leslie Yerkes and Randy Martin help us let go, step back, and figure out exactly why others don’t see our ideas the way we do. Through their process, we'll build mutual understanding and shared commitment. And we may even make our own ideas even better. This delightful little book will teach you to become a better communicator of ideas and an inspired motivator of people, both personally and professionally.
