Understanding Deployment 💡

Deployment is the process of making your application ready for the public to use. It involves packaging your application and all its dependencies and placing them on a web server.

Publishing Options in ASP .NET 📝

ASP .NET offers several publishing options. We'll focus on two primary methods:
