Visual Studio has syntax highlighting for it as well as it supports Razor intellisense.

This article will introduce you to the concept of routing in ASP.NET Core framework. What is routing? Simply said routing is a process of mapping URLs to controllers and actions.

Long time ago I’ve created a project which purpose is to teach LINQ using tests. Technically it’s not exacly TDD. I’d rather call it TDL (test-driven learning), an “invention” of my own ;) Before we start let me point you to source code located on my GitHub repository. Learning LINQ The basics of LINQ are fairly easy. We have to learn how to filter, sort and project data. It can be used in two ways: the method syntax and the query syntax.

In this tutorial I’m going to show you how to load modals dynamically and how to process forms (within modals) via ajax requests. I’m going to use Bootstrap for modals, because it’s pretty popular, but you may as well use any other UI framework or library for displaying modals. We’ll use jQuery to send ajax and perform modal actions. For the backend, we’ll use .NET Core MVC, but you can replace it with your technology of choice.
