Book Description

Mastering Modern Web Development with .NET 9 is your hands-on guide to building powerful, real-world web applications using today's most trusted and versatile tools in the .NET ecosystem-ASP.NET Core, Web API, Razor Pages, and Umbraco CMS.

Designed for developers who want to go beyond tutorials and build production-ready web apps, this book walks you through the entire modern development stack.

From there, you'll dive into creating secure, high-performance RESTful APIs using ASP.NET Core Web API-laying the foundation for responsive, decoupled frontends or mobile integrations.

You'll learn how to handle everything from routing and middleware to authentication, authorization, testing, and performance tuning. You'll also explore containerization for smoother deployments, and best practices for deploying .NET apps at scale.

Finally, you'll unlock the full potential of Umbraco CMS, learning how to integrate dynamic content management into your applications-so your clients or team can manage content without touching code.
