Chapter 4. Let's Chat Web Application

There is an old saying:

"A single conversation with a wise person is worth a month's study of books."

With this thought, let's enable a conversation with our online friends by developing a chat application called Let's Chat in ASP.NET Core 2.0. Over the course of the next three chapters, we will be developing and deploying this chat app. While doing so, we will dive deep into ASP.NET Core 2.0 features, learn their intricacies, and learn how to unit test our ASP.NET Core 2.0 app. We will also learn about containers and deploy our app on the cloud. We will end these three chapters with a quick development and walkthrough of a Chatbot using the Microsoft Bot Framework, which can be easily created in a matter of minutes and can be added to any of your web apps and also integrated with social networks.  In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

• Let's Chat web app requirement specifications
• Let's Chat web app design
• Project setup
