Getting Started

Prerequisites

• .NET 9.0 SDK or later
• Any code editor (VS Code, Visual Studio, etc.)

Running the Application

1. Build the project:

   dotnet build

2. Run the application:

   dotnet run

3. Open in browser:

   • Navigate to https://localhost:7xxx (port will be shown in terminal)
   • Or use http://localhost:5xxx for non-HTTPS

Development Commands

# Build the project
dotnet build

# Run the application
dotnet run

# Run with hot reload (watches for changes)
dotnet watch run

# Create a new Razor page
dotnet new page -n NewPageName -o Pages

# Add a NuGet package
dotnet add package PackageName

Learning Objectives

This project helps you learn:

1. ASP.NET Core Basics

   • Razor Pages architecture
   • Model binding
   • Form handling

2. Web Development Concepts

   • Form validation
   • Responsive design
   • MVC pattern

3. C# Programming

   • Object-oriented programming
   • Data annotations
   • LINQ (when database is added)

Key Differences from Web Forms

Web Forms	Razor Pages
.aspx + .aspx.cs	.cshtml + .cshtml.cs
ViewState	Stateless
Server controls	HTML helpers / Tag helpers
Page lifecycle events	OnGet/OnPost methods
Windows only	Cross-platform

Next Steps

1. Database Integration: Add Entity Framework Core
2. Authentication: Implement user login/registration
3. API Development: Create REST APIs
4. Advanced UI: Add JavaScript interactions
5. Deployment: Deploy to Azure or other cloud platforms
