We covered a lot of material in chapter one on the basics of HTML and it’s sister web technologies; JavaScript and CSS. We even learned about client-side libraries like BootStrap and jQuery. This chapter was not meant to be a primer on HTML where you learn every tag and every attribute available in HTML but rather to see the design and development process using HTML, learn the basic building blocks of the web, and have a frame of reference for the rest of the chapters in the book. You see, the rest of the chapters in this book talk about Dynamic platforms, frameworks, and languages. Dynamic technologies take a lot of the painstaking manual work we did in chapter one out of the process and make things more fun. But in the end they all take a different tact or spin on cranking out the same basic nuts and bolts we learned about in this chapter; HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.
Server-Side platforms like ASP.Net Core and Client-Side languages like Angular are examples of Dynamic technologies.
In the next part of this book, “Part Two, Dynamic Applications, Data and Frameworks”, starting with Chapter Two, “ASP.Net Core, Let’s talk Dynamic”, we’ll start diving into the ASP.Net Core technologies. This is a big topic and five chapters are devoted to it.
