Building Web Applications with Visual Studio 2017: Using .NET Core and Modern JavaScript Frameworks
by Kevin Grossnicklaus Ben Dewey Philip JapikseLearn how to build web applications from three Microsoft MVPs. After building the data application layer using Entity Framework Core and a RESTful service using ASP. NET Core, you will then build the client side web application three ways: first, using ASP. NET Core, then using Angular 2, and, finally, using React. You will be able to compare and contrast these UI frameworks and select the best one for your needs. . NET Core is a complete rewrite of the popular . NET and its related frameworks. While many concepts are similar between . NET Core and the . NET 4. 6 framework, there are revolutionary changes as well, including updates to Entity Framework Core and ASP. NET Core. The first section of this book covers the three main parts of building applications with C#: Entity Framework, ASP. NET Core Services, and ASP. NET Core Web Applications. There is also an explosion in popularity of JavaScript frameworks for client side development, and the authors cover two of the most popular UI frameworks. Start with TypeScript for developing clean JavaScript, along with a client side build tool such as Gulp, Grunt, and WebPack. Using the same data access layer and RESTful service from the . NET Core application, you can rebuild the UI using Angular 2. Then, repeat the process using React, for a true comparison of building client side applications using ASP. NET Core, Angular 2, and React. What You'll Learn Understand the fundamentals of . NET Core and what that means to the traditional . NET developer Build a data access layer with Entity Framework Core, a RESTful service with ASP. NET Core MVC, and a website with ASP. NET Core MVC and Bootstrap Automate many build tasks with client side build utilities Who This Book Is For Intermediate to advanced . NET developers

The Semantic Web – ISWC 2016
by Paul Groth Elena Simperl Alasdair Gray Marta Sabou Markus Krötzsch Freddy Lecue Fabian Flöck Yolanda GilThe two-volume set LNCS 9981 and 9982 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th International Semantic Web Conference, ISWC 2016, which was held in Kobe, Japan, in October 2016. The 75 full papers presented in these proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 326 submissions. The International Semantic Web Conference is the premier forum for Semantic Web research, where cutting edge scientific results and technological innovations are presented, where problems and solutions are discussed, and where the future of this vision is being developed. It brings together specialists in fields such as artificial intelligence, databases, social networks, distributed computing, Web engineering, information systems, human-computer interaction, natural language processing, and the social sciences. The Research Track solicited novel and significant research contributions addressing theoretical, analytical, empirical, and practical aspects of the Semantic Web. The Applications Track solicited submissions exploring the benefits and challenges of applying semantic technologies in concrete, practical applications, in contexts ranging from industry to government and science. The newly introduced Resources Track sought submissions providing a concise and clear description of a resource and its (expected) usage. Traditional resources include ontologies, vocabularies, datasets, benchmarks and replication studies, services and software. Besides more established types of resources, the track solicited submissions of new types of resources such as ontology design patterns, crowdsourcing task designs, workflows, methodologies, and protocols and measures.
