ASP.NET Core 2.2 preview – Updated routing handling

We’re making a big investment in routing starting in 2.2 to make it interoperate more seamlessly with middleware.

The Shell Introduction I Wish I Had – DEV Community

So I’m writing to you, my past coding self, to get you up to speed on something important: The Shell. The future me is (moderately) wiser and wants to help. I wrote a similar guide for Git Rebasing that you (and others) found helpful. My post this time is broader, lays the groundwork for learning and understanding more about the Shell and why it matters.
