In ASP.NET Core 6 Succinctly, author Dirk Strauss guides web developers through some of the significant performance and feature improvements newly available in ASP.NET Core 6. Learn about the unmissable practicality of Hot Reload, explore super-helpful C# 10 features, pick up the essentials of how to build a minimal API, and discover how and why developers should use dependency injection. The .NET 6.0 framework is a major release for Microsoft and allows developers to build almost anything using one unified platform. The .NET Framework was released in 2002 for Windows development, and later evolved into what we know as .NET Core. This lightweight, cross-platform framework allows developers to build different types of applications. With the release of .NET 5.0 in 2020, Microsoft began to solidify its unified vision for the entire platform, culminating in .NET 6.0. In this book, we will have a look at .NET 6.0 as it relates to ASP.NET Core. .NET 6.0 and C# 10 bring with them a lot of new features. While this book is not a deep dive into C# 10, I will briefly touch on several of the new features. To see if the application you created is running C# 10, have a look at the project’s properties.
