Introduction: Decoupled React and ASP.NET Apps

Overview

As we go through this course, we’ll develop a question-and-answer app; we will refer to it as the “Q&A” app. Users will be able to submit a question, and other users will be able to submit answers. They will also be able to search for previous questions and view the answers that were given to them. In this chapter, we are going to start building this app by creating the ASP.NET Core and React projects.

In the previous chapter, we learned how to create an ASP.NET Core and React app using the template in Visual Studio. However, we’ll create our app in a slightly different manner in this chapter and understand the reasoning behind this decision.
