This book is great. I've gone through many .NET tutorials, and I haven't found another that is anywhere near as friendly to beginners as this one.

Glad to hear that! As a beginner, what were you most interested in learning?

Great book, I appreciate the effort!!

That's a very good effort. All the best in growing this book!

Thanks KJ!

Thanks for your generous contribution to the LITTLE book. One small suggestion, since .NET Core razor tags have had a jumping change, from @HTML.()... to HTML 5 standard 'asp-*', etc., I think it is worth to mention it for ASP.NET 4 developers.

That's a great idea - I'll mention this.

Great job! A useful refresher as I'd not looked at ASP.Net Core since the first release and this has led me to give it another try.

Thanks! I hope more people take a second look at ASP.NET Core 2.0. It's grown up a lot since the early days.

This is great! Just finished going through it last night. A very nice introduction with some good tips. Thanks for writing this little book!

Just went through the first part where you do your model, view, controller, and service. This is brilliant. Thank you. :)

Thank you very much Nate. I appreciate very much.
Can you write something on Asp.Net Core Razor Pages?

Thank you.

I will definitely blog about Razor Pages. Subscribe to my blog (on www.recaffeinate.co) and I'll email you when it's posted. :)

I have subscribed to you blog. Thanks

Congrats. Thanks.

Hey, thanks. Appreciated.

Mil gracias por tan valioso aporte a los que estamos aprendiendo de este gran mundo de la programación, de verdad muchas gracias por su aporte. Dios lo bendiga.

good morning thank you very much Nate, for the book, I am a beginner and I want you to help me add the date picker, using html and javascript.
thank you

This book is great resource for beginners.
I've some questions about why did we use Task<> and why did we create a constructor for TodoController ?

Was really getting into the book. I was going along with the code development using Visual Studio 2017 BUT right at the end I hit a brick wall. the 'IServiceCollection' can not be found! I cant find the name space. Any help greatly appriciated

Is this in your Startup.cs file? You are probably just missing a using statement at the top. In Visual Studio 2017, you can press Control-. (period) to bring up a menu of suggestions.

Why did you not add a navigation property of type AspNetUser in the TodoItem class such that we have a relationship between AspNetUser and TodoItem tables in the database?

Good point. I think EF Core infers this? I need to investigate.

Thank you very much, please consider writing a book or youtube videos about building web apps using asp.net stack for beginners. would be very useful

i mean asp.net core stack

Almost finished reading the book
Must say you have done an excellent job :)
..but you could have used tag helpers and made the service class (I call it repository ) more generic and you forgot the implementation of https and if you could show how to use IIS instead of Azure (which is ridiculously expensive)
Nevertheless it's an excellent book, hard to believe it only took you a weekend to write. That's talent.
I can only encourage you to continue with the good, it's much appreaciated.
