This lecture gives a somewhat detailed overview of ASP.NET Core. ASP.NET Core has evolved from the popular Microsoft web framework known as ASP.NET and released in June 2016.  The course uses ASP.NET Core to build the applications, hence it will be beneficial for the students to have an overview of the ASP.NET Core web development platform offered by Microsoft. The timing of the publication of this course is significant since the ASP.NET Core 3 ( the version used for the course is ASP.NET Core 3 preview 8 ) has just seen its first official version released September 23-25 in Microsoft Conference in the US.
