Reddit reviews Pro ASP.NET Core MVC 2

These are my recommendations:

• Microsoft Docs
  
• Pro ASP.NET Core
  
• ASP.NET Core In Action
  
• EF Core In Action
  
• Programming ASP.NET Core (good if you're coming from a WebForm background)
  
• NDC Conferences

These ones are good - and much newer:

I'm currently using this book. The author prefers not to use templates meaning you actually learn to read the code properly rather than just following mouse clicks.

Because he doesn't use templates he writes everything in a way that you can use Visual Studio code as well as Visual Studio. It's great if you have an older computer/laptop or plan to develop on a Mac or on Linux.

I can't believe nobody is referencing The C# Player's Guide. Hands down the best resource for when I was learning C# from scratch.

After, if you want to move on to web development with C#, check out Pro ASP.NET Core MVC 2.

This would be the updated version of that book (as long as you are OK focusing on Core). Adam does a good job introducing ASP.NET, but he also covers a broad spectrum of cross cutting concerns and OOP concepts. I would highly recommend his books for anyone new that wants to go down an MVC path.

Oh! These are indeed very useful tips. Thank you for the points. I am currently learning ASP.NET Core MVC. I have been a C# developer for a few years but I have never developed Web applications with ASP and have always resorted to what I already knew (Java and PHP). My current work laptop as well as the home software ecosystem is now Apple-based and I would rather not split work and switch between operating systems. That's why I was trying to utilise VS for Mac. As of now, my aim is to learn ASP.NET, but at some point I would also need to build .DLL files and I may have to build REST APIs and host apps on Azure. I doubt if I will go back to building native/desktop apps for now. But if I will someday, I will probably start learning something like Electron.NET. So, any further tips are appreciated.

​

P.S. The book I am currently reading is Pro ASP.NET MVC 2 by Adam Freeman which looks comprehensive thus far even though the examples are built in the Windows version of Visual Studio for which he takes no blame.

Just about to pull the trigger one of these.
I'm not going going be applying for jobs for a couple of years because of college. Should i bother with MVC 5 or try to jump straight into core.

What about this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/148423149X/ref=sxts_sxwds-puwylo_rv_1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=3534076942&pd_rd_wg=rU58U&pf_rd_r=6XX2FG98ZDRHPT4Z67ZP&pf_rd_s=desktop-sx-top-slot&pf_rd_t=301&pd_rd_i=148423149X&pd_rd_w=Phw0H&pf_rd_i=ASP.NET+Pro+MVC+2&pd_rd_r=c098776a-c5f2-4a8a-b209-1433c55a484a&ie=UTF8&qid=1522906247&sr=1

Is ASP.NET Core MVC the same as ASP.NET MVC for the .NET Framework?

Hello,
Based on the comments until now i understand that you trying to learn asp.net core 2.
When i started my journey on asp.net i started with Professional ASP.NET MVC 5 great book.

For Asp.net Core i started with: Pro ASP.NET Core MVC its a nice book for asp.net core 1.

for asp.net core 2 i would suggest the Pro ASP.NET Core MVC 2 but with a slight hesitation because asp.net core 2 at the time of the publishing was still new.

Also this MVA course could help you.

If you need more info and tutorials - courses. Comment bellow and i will try to help you find the best courses for you.


Thanks.
