When you start learning ASP.NET Core, the Program.cs file can feel overwhelming.
So many methods, so many configurations — authentication, middleware, services, pipelines…

Here’s the good news:

• You do NOT need to memorize everything in Program.cs
• You only need to understand how it works conceptually

This article will help you build a simple mental model so you always know what goes where — even if you forget the exact syntax.

Modern applications are no longer limited to classic server-rendered web pages. Today we build APIs, SPAs (Angular, React), and mobile applications, all of which require a secure and scalable authentication mechanism.

One of the most widely used solutions is JWT (JSON Web Token) authentication.

How to clean audio in video files?

What is the launchSettings.json file?

• Location: Properties\launchSettings.json
• Purpose: defines local run profiles — URLs, HTTPS, environment variables, and startup behavior.
• Important: used only during local development (dotnet run, Visual Studio); does not affect production.

What is the Facade Design Pattern?

The Facade design pattern is a structural pattern that provides a simplified interface to a complex system of classes, libraries, or frameworks. It hides the complexities of the system and makes it easier to use by providing a unified, high-level interface.

Leaking domain knowledge to tests is an anti-pattern in software development and testing. It occurs when the test code contains information about the implementation details of the system under test (SUT) rather than focusing on its behavior and expected outcomes. This can lead to a number of issues that undermine the effectiveness and maintainability of the tests.
