Build Real App in Angular 10 and ASP.Net Web API

These are 2 of the hottest frameworks right now for the ‘back-end’ (Microsoft’s ASP.NET Core) and the ‘front-end’ (Google’s Angular) and are well worth spending the time to learn.
This course starts from scratch, you neither need to know Angular 1 nor Angular 2
We will start from nothing and incrementally build this property dealing application front-end using Angular 10.
And then we will connect our front-end with the Web-API until we have a fully functional Web Application that we will publish to Firebase and then on IIS.

I think you might want to be a software developer for a long time, in the same way that some people are musicians for a long time, or artists for a long time, or roofers for a long time. If not, you can hit “back” in your browser. It’s cool, no harm no foul. But I think maybe you would like to be a twenty-year programmer, or forty-year, or more.

This is a "go live" release that can be used in production with the understanding that you will need to update to the final stable release once it is available.  

By version 82, shipping in Q2 of 2020, all FTP support will be removed from Chrome. This is expected to affect around 0.1% of users though if you do still offer downloads in an FTP-only form, now is the time to upgrade. 

The OutputCache attribute does not allow us to dynamically change the cache settings for the current request. As MVC and Web API both rely on different libraries I could not reuse the Web API action filter in MVC so I had to come up with a new solution. This again resulted in two simple classes. 

OWASP’s Top 10 Risk List is an important tool for security engineers and compliance analysts. It describes the 10 worst security problems that are found in web and mobile applications today. But, on its own, it’s not much help to developers, so OWASP has come up with a list of 10 things that you can do as a developer to make sure that your code is safe and secure.
