In this final chapter, we saw three not-well-known aspects for distinct reasons, and that included a brief introduction to the new .NET Core and ASP.NET Core proposals that Microsoft presented officially this year.

This is the last chapter of this book in which I've reviewed the state of .NET Programming using (mainly, but not exclusively), the C# language.

We made a historic tour of the language in its different versions, including the latest stable, C# 7, and we've seen with a bunch of examples the way it behaves and how we can use it in distinct contexts and application scenarios.

We've also compared languages taking a sneak peek at other proposals, like the functional language F# and the popular TypeScript.

Data management has been another important topic, covering the two most popular models today (SQL and NoSQL), sampling how to use both, their advantages and caveats.

Finally, we've dedicated several chapters to traversal techniques which imply the whole application, like architecture, good practices, security and performance, to end with this miscellaneous chapter.

I, sincerely, expect this text serves you as a reference on the many possibilities that a .NET programmer has today, and, possibly opens new paths and channels of development for your needs.
