In today's article, I will introduce you to a technology that is one of the most popular choices for programmers and companies around the world - ASP.NET Core. I will present you with 20 reasons why it is worth learning this framework and creating complete advanced web applications. Without further ado, I invite you to read.
Let's start with the basics, what is ASP.NET Core anyway?
ASP.NET Core is a programming platform that enables the creation of efficient and secure web applications and APIs, based on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture. Thanks to the built-in tools and libraries, developers can quickly create high-quality applications that run on many platforms, including Windows, macOS, and Linux.
This platform has many advantages and I have already created a lot of applications for various companies in it. These were both complete applications in ASP.NET Core MVC, as well as just REST API in ASP.NET Core Web API. Why have I always decided on this platform?
