We are actively monitoring the 1.0 release for issues to include in a first patch (1.0.1) release of the .NET Core SDK. There is no scheduled date for this patch update but early August is likely.  

In this post, we are going to write about what we consider to be the best practices while developing the .NET Core Web API project. How we can make it better and how to make it more maintainable.

We are going to go through the following sections:

• Startup Class and the Service Configuration
• Project Organization
• Environment Based Settings
• Data Access Layer
• Controllers
• Actions
• Microsoft.AspNetCore.All Meta-Package
• Routing
• Logging
• CryptoHelper
• Content Negotiation
• Using JWT
• Conclusion  

C# runs great on Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS (oh, and Windows); is targeted by your favorite editor; rests on a rock solid, time-tested industrial grade platform; and is open source. You want to because C# is an industry leader in language innovation, is your best option for native cross-platform mobile apps, and is toolable beyond compare.  

When Ruby on Rails, a web application framework written in the Ruby programming language, was first released as open source back in July 2004, it stumbled to rise in the rankings as one of the top programming languages. But in 2006, Apple announced that it would be shipping Ruby on Rails with their Mac OS X v10.5 “Leopard” and Ruby soon became known and used by many. So much so, that the TIOBE index, a measure of the popularity of programming languages, named Ruby the “Programming Language of 2006.” However, due to some scalability issues and the release of other exciting new tools, such as Node.js and AngularJS, Ruby started to lose its popularity and by 2008 it seemed as if it was on its way out.

webpack is arguably the most popular bundler right now and this is the first major release in over two years. We get big improvements to caching (and therefore performance), reduced bundle sizes with better tree shaking, and a variety of breaking changes to prepare for the future (automatic Node polyfills are gone, for one).
