Building Your First ASP.NET Core RESTful API for Node.js Developers - Introduction (Part 1)
Over the past decade, many developers started their backend development journey with Node.js. What makes Node.js compelling to developers is the benefit of creating client-side and server-side applications with a single programming language: JavaScript. This convenience, along with the growing interest in frameworks written with modern programming languages like Golang and Rust, means more developers are less likely to branch out to older, more established technologies like ASP.NET. Developed and maintained by Microsoft, ASP.NET ( A ctive S erver P ages N etwork E nabled T echnologies) is a framework for creating dynamic web applications and services on the .NET platform . You can write ASP.NET applications with any .NET programming language: C#, F# or Visual Basic. ASP.NET is widely used across many industries, most notably, by large corporations and government agencies. Despite Microsoft's efforts to adapt ASP.NET to the rapidly evolving web development landscape, such as the release of ASP.NET MVC in 2009 in response to the popularity of MVC frameworks like Django and Ruby on Rails, ASP.NET continued to suffer from several limitations: To migrate away from ASP.NET's monolithic design, Microsoft re-implemented ASP.NET as a modular, cross-platform compatible, open-source framework named ASP.NET Core .
