Azure App Service Tools Updates in the Azure SDK for .NET 2.9
In the Azure SDK 2.9 we’ve made it significantly more convenient for developers who use Azure App Service to host their Web, Mobile, API, and background-processing WebJob apps. We’ve heard from customers who use Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates to create their Azure topologies that they’re rarely creating one web app or one API app. Applications have layers, services, and tiers. To accommodate this scenario in the Azure tools we’re enabling you the ability to create App Services as a secondary services during provisioning. This means that in addition to the “main event” of your app-creation experience you h...

Dependency Injection in ASP.NET Core
In a recent Community Standup, one of the questions that was asked of the team was: "How do I get started with Dependency Injection in ASP.NET Core?" This is where we're going to answer your question, because in this post we're going to share how dependency injection is used in ASP.NET Core and how you can configure it to meet your needs.

The net effect is a loose coupling between classes, with dependencies provided to a class as constructor parameters or properties. The...
