Intro to ASP.NET Core Razor Pages - From Start to Published

ASP.NET Core is the web side of .NET Core development. Under this umbrella are three major components - Razor Pages, MVC, Blazor, and API. All of these project types can co-exist in the same website without an issue, yet they all fill a different role. In this video, we are going to look at Razor pages, the quickest and easiest way to create a powerful server-side web application in C#. We will look at how to set a project up, how to capture and display data, and how to deploy it.

This tutorial is better than the official documentation from Microsoft

Well structured, quite educative. As always, thanks for putting it all together, Tim.

It is my rare encounter with such an excellent tutorial. I just fell in love with it.

I've been doing this as a hobby for 20 years and I have to say that this is EXACTLY what these youngsters need to be watching. Good work Tim! Like I said on the sub page Awesome content!

I found this video immensely useful. I love that he goes into 'why's and takes detour as needed to ensure that background is understood. I highly recommend it.

[PatrickHoodDaniel]

This really should be the top video for learning ASP.NET Core! The other top videos show the same procedure of: new project/establish a database/access data. This gets into the fundamentals. I am getting so much out of this video. Thank you so much!

[Tazza]

Watching Tim code is almost therapeutic. As someone who wants a career in software development (C#), this channel is a gold mine of invaluable, clearly expressed information. Brilliant.

[dwmbama]

Hands down the best videos I've found! You should write a book. I would definitely buy it.

[lewisreid]

I've had 4 hours of lectures and 8 hours of laboratories on this at uni and this short tutorial has already taught me far in an understandable manner! Thank you so much

Tim, as a programmer I have learned from your videos. Your videos are so helpful they have inspired me to start my own how to videos. I started a Razor Pages project at work last year and found little to no resources available. I hope I can make programming easier to learn for others like you helped me. Thanks, Brock

After checking the documentation and trying to check up some written tutorials through google, I found this video, which is way more clear and concise than anything else out there. Direct to the point, well structured, and explains the WHY behind each line of code instead of "Just copy and paste this here and magic happens". Thank you.

Hello IAmTimCorey. I have watched dozens of videos on web development. This is the first time I understood what was being taught. Too easy. My cat was looking over my shoulder, now he is building websites. Thanks !!

[RyazantsevNikolay]

Fantastic clarity that I was unable to find anywhere else. Thanks!

[henryporter]

I'm subbing because Tim has a nice-sounding voice, takes his time and somehow makes me feel at ease. I like that he is doing something simple here and explains it to me in very simple terms that I can understand easily. Good video.

Hi Tim.
This is the first video I watch of you and I can tell you it is one of the best ones I've seen on any subject. I am working out of a Mac M1 so things are a little different. But the way you explain things, and not only the hows but the whys takes the learning experience to a whole different level. Keep up the good work

I started programming about 7 months ago and settled on C#, and ASP.NET Core is something I've been trying to get my head around for a while. Normally, Microsoft have great tutorials and docs but on there while you could follow along and build a website, I didn't really get why things worked the way they did, having only really built console apps up until now. I stumbled across this video and now a lot of things have clicked and I feel like I'm becoming more productive again! Thanks - Subscribed!

[Noceo]

Thank you so much for including an introduction to Azure. Also coming from MVVM + WPF, this seems like an obvious first step towards conquering the web (yes I am 10 years behind). Thanks Tim!

[lemcaddy]

Great tutorial, especially for a newbie like me! I am trying to get my head around a project and this really helps. I am trying to build webpages around my existing login page (done in MVC(5)), so this looks like the best approach.

[RaterisimoCBA]

Nice tutorial, it's a good simple overview to get started with Razor Pages. I like your slow-paced explanations and you voice things clearly, this made it easier to follow what you were doing. Will check your courses, hopefully I can take one soon !

[elijahbeasley]

An absolutely excellent, succinct, and professional tutorial!
