Hi There,

After 12 years break , I am trying to develop a web application using ASP .NET C#. Downloaded Visual Studio 2019 community version and started brusing up my skills. However, I am very much confused with the terms MVC, Razor and Blazor.

I read many articles in this regard and understood that Blazor is the framwork to implement client & server applications using C#.

However, still I am confused about when & where to use these. Also, for a medium sized web application which one is the best approcah.

Also, please note that I am trying to develop a sample web application to manage course information which needs to store, retrevie and iterate through hundreds of infomration related to each course.

Can anyone help me in this please?

Best Regards,

Kans.

.NET = Developer platform (Theoritical term)
1. .NET Framework :- Real implementation of .NET for windows only
2. .NET Core :- Real implementation of .NET for cross platform (Windows/Mac OS, Linux)
3. UWP:- Another implementation of .NET for universal apps on windows.
4. Mono/Xamarine :- Another implementation of .NET for mobile apps
.NET Fremework
- ASP.NET (application framework for web apps)
- ASP.NET Web Forms (workload to develop web apps)
- ASP.NET MVC (another work load to develop web apps with MVC architecture.)
.NET Core
- ASP.NET Core (Cross platform application framework)
- ASP.NET Core Razor pages (workload 1 ) :- similar to web forms but is actually MVC just looks like web forms
- ASP.NET Core MVC (workload 2 ) :- MVC version just cross platform
- ASP.NET Core Blazor Server (workload 3 ) ;- Single page apps but will run on server.
- ASP.NET Core Blazor Client (workload 4 ) ;- single page apps but will run on client
- ASP.NET Core WEB API (workload 5 ) ;- Rest APIs

Hi,

My suggestion is to go with ASP.Net MVC. It's simple and you can build dynamic web applications using ASP.NET MVC framework that enables a clean separation of concerns, fast development, and TDD friendly.
