WebFormsアプリをRazorPagesに移植してスマホ対応にしたことで、なかなかの好評をいただいている
そして移植のために利用したChatGPT plusとAzureの無料お試し期間が間もなく終了する
ChatGPT plusは月額$20
AzureAppServiceLinuxB1は月額$13.87
今円安だし、どちらも維持するとなると結構なお値段
いったん無料版に移行して様子をみるか？
どうしたものか🤔

Question for people who teach #AspNetCore to newcomers - what order do you teach MVC vs RazorPages?

RazorPages is built on MVC, so it feels like MVC should go first to give you the basis. But RazorPages is generally suggested approach now, so should you start with them first?
