Making good use of the GitHub repository for this book
Git is a commonly used source code management system. GitHub is a company, website, and desktop application that makes it easier to manage Git. Microsoft purchased GitHub in 2018, so it will continue to get closer integration with Microsoft tools.
I created a GitHub repository for this book, and I use it for the following:
- To store the solution code for the book that can be maintained after the print publication date.
- To provide extra materials that extend the book, like errata fixes, small improvements, lists of useful links, and optional sections about topics that cannot fit in the printed book.
- To provide a place for readers to get in touch with me if they have issues with the book.
Good Practice: I strongly recommend that all readers review the errata, improvements, post-publication changes, and common errors pages before attempting any coding task in this book. You can find them at https://github.com/markjprice/web-dev-net9...
