Microsoft .Net Core

While there are many technologies used for backend development, some common ones include Java, .php, and ASP.NET MVC. A lot of developers still prefer to use ASP.NET MVC, its latest update ASP.NET Core comes with many new and improved features that make it a must-try. Dot Net Core web applications represent cutting-edge technology that has captivated the software community. It is increasingly being used by developers for building impactful web apps, SaaS solutions, IoT applications, and backend services for smartphones. Dot Net Core also supports web application development across multiple platforms including Linux, macOS, and Windows.   

We at Akkomplish have over three decades of technical expertise and an exceptional team of developers. We have a successful record of developing and delivering cutting-edge software solutions globally. By leveraging Microsoft .NET Core, we excel in crafting dynamic web applications tailored to meet your specific business needs.

Here are some benefits of using .Net core for backend development:

Open-Source Framework

.NET Core, being open-source, is widely embraced by developers. Its source code is accessible for modification, inspection, and contributions. The expansive .NET Core community offers support, ensuring frequent bug fixes and updates without prolonged waits.

Cross-platform and Cloud-based Support

A standout feature of .NET Core is its cross-platform architecture, extending beyond Windows to macOS, Linux, and Windows. Key attributes like independent application bundling, cross-platform compatibility, and straightforward installations make .NET Core ideal for creating robust enterprise web applications.

Enhanced Programming Features

The ASP.NET stack's significant overhaul in .NET Core introduces a range of capabilities like automated memory management, cross-platform design, language-agnosticism, garbage collection, package management, and nonlinear programming. These enhancements simplify development, thus enhancing the productivity and efficiency for developers.

Optimal Performance

Performance excellence is intrinsic to .NET Core, supported by optimized core libraries and tools. Its unique ability to optimize code during compilation ensures enhanced performance. Developers benefit from streamlined code maintenance, reuse, and modification, contributing to efficient enterprise solution development.

Simplicity and Maintenance

The simplicity of .NET Core web applications is pivotal to its success, offering straightforward features like form submission, site settings, and client authentication. It leverages the established MVC design pattern to simplify customization and inspection of web applications and APIs. This ease extends to coding, testing, debugging, and managing software architectures.

Enhanced Developer Tools

.NET Core includes a suite of developer tools like JetBrains and ReSharper, alongside Microsoft Visual Studio for advanced application development. These tools facilitate profiling, unit testing, debugging, Git integration, and code completion, boosting developer productivity significantly.

Versatility and Modularity

.NET Core empowers the development of modern web applications with exceptional versatility, facilitating seamless transitions between desktop and mobile apps. Its modular framework supports the creation of robust and innovative enterprise applications, enhancing flexibility in application development.

Longevity and Future-proof Design

Designed with future reliability in mind, .NET Core minimizes coding requirements while demanding skilled professionals to ensure logical application design. Experienced developers can leverage .NET Core's capabilities to streamline application development, minimizing errors and aligning with evolving design practices.

Unified MVC and Web API

.NET Core integrates MVC and Web API into a unified framework, simplifying controller management. This consolidation addresses previous challenges associated with maintaining separate code bases, offering a comprehensive solution for web application development.

Here is the structured process used by our developers for backend development using Microsoft .Net Core:

Install Prerequisites

We first ensure your development environment has the necessary components, including the .NET core SDK and IDE (Integrated Development Environment) like the Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, JetBrains Rider, or another preferred IDE.

Create a New Project

We then create a new .NET Core project using Visual Studio and Visual Studio code. We use the appropriate project template and the dotnet new command to create a new project.

Understand Project Structure

Our team then understands your project structure. This includes the following:

Main Files and Folders:

Program.cs: Entry point of the application.
Startup.cs: Configures services and the request pipeline.
appsettings.json: Configuration settings.
Controllers/: Where your API controllers reside.
Models/: Data models for your application.

Develop Your Backend Logic

We then implement the business logic and API endpoints:

Controllers: Define API endpoints using controllers and actions.
Services: Implement services to encapsulate business logic.
Models: Create data models to represent entities.
Middleware: Use middleware for handling requests, logging, etc.

Configure Services and Middleware

In Startup.cs, we configure services and middleware:

Dependency Injection: Register services and components.
Middleware Pipeline: Configure middleware components (e.g., authentication, CORS).

Testing and Debugging

We then test your backend using unit tests and integration tests. We use testing frameworks like xUnit or NUnit. We also test API endpoints and data access.

Deployment

At this stage, we prepare your application for deployment. Our developers use the dotnet publish command to create a publishable version and then deploy it to a hosting provider or server (Azure, AWS, Docker, etc.).
