Features of creating web applications using C# ASP .NET CORE MVC

Abstract

The article discusses the features of using the ASP.NET Core MVC platform on the example of developing a web application in the form of a pharmacy customer information system. The strengths and weaknesses of this platform are analyzed. Pharmacy customers are primarily interested in information about the availability of the necessary drugs, new drug arrivals, current promotional offers and much more. In addition, it is important for the client to be able to obtain the necessary information online and in a short time. And here you cannot do without a reliable, effective and fast web resource. However, in many cases, a web application can be quite simple and limited to providing several functions: user registration, payment processing, report generation. This is due to the fact that most pharmacies are small enterprises with limited financial capabilities. Therefore, it will be beyond the power of such an enterprise to develop and operate its own database. The question immediately arises of how to get around this problem. That is, what should be the platform for developing its own information system. In our opinion, a good solution is the ASP.NET Core MVC platform, on the basis of which the web application proposed in the article is developed. If only because it allows you to create a fully functional customer information system without using a database, while at the same time allowing you to store information in JSON file format
