1. Amazing details on asp.net core – especially authentication
   To be honest, I don’t really like working with Razor pages. I’d prefer to use Angular for the frontend. But now I have a new obsession that uses good old Razor syntax – the new Blazor SSR. Going back and seeing what was special about Razor pages has given me a deeper appreciation for the direction Blazor is going – and has gotten me back to using only the .NET stack for frontend. This book is such an incredible in-depth guide to Razor pages. The best part of the book are the chapters on security and authentication (Chapters 9 and 10). Definitely worth getting the book for this section alone. I found out about this book from the mention in ASP.NET Core Security by Christian Wenz. I’m really glad I picked this one up as well.

2. Every significant aspect of ASP.NET Core Razor Pages is covered in this book.
   Every significant aspect of Razor Pages is covered in this book. As all technical books must do, the basic, introductory material begins a journey that takes the reader (developer) through a very logical progression using a lucid example. Each chapter moves your knowledge level higher and broader. Near the end, you realize that this has been an enjoyable, productive journey leaving you with more than enough knowledge to tackle any ASP.NET application construction with confidence. In particular, the mechanism for scaffolding to quickly build CRUD functionality helped me to overcome the thought of how long it would take to build a useful application.

4. Perfect resource for a Razor Pages application
   If you’ve searched for guidance on Razor Pages online, I’m sure you’ve come across a resource called Learn Razor Pages by Mike Brind. Well this is his book on the subject! It’s a great resource for any software engineer tasked with creating a Razor Pages app, it covers a broad range of aspects from simple to complex. I cannot recommend this book enough for new and experienced .NET developers.
