# Episode 17 - ASP.NET Core's Middleware Pipeline with Andrew Lock


## Episode Transcription

Hello everyone and welcome to _THE_ .NET Core podcast - the only podcast which is devoted to:

- .NET Core
- ASP.NET Core
- EF Core
- SignalR

and not forgetting The .NET Core community, itself.

I am your host, Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor, and this is episode 17: ASP.NET Core's Middleware Pipeline with Andrew Lock. In this episode I interviewed Andrew Lock about the ASP.NET Core Middleware Pipeline. Some of you may know Andrew Lock from his recently published book [ASP.NET Core in Action](https://www.manning.com/books/asp-net-core-in-action) or [his blog](https://andrewlock.net/).

So let's sit back, open up a terminal, type in `dotnet new podcast` and let the show begin.

### Andrew Lock Introduction

People will probably mostly know me from my [blog](https://andrewlock.net/). I started that about two and a half year ago, and that's been just basically about ASP.NET Core.

I'm currently a software developer at a company in London called [Elevate Direct](https://www.elevatedirect.com/) and I'm living in Plymoth, so I'm working remotely. And my job is on the back end .NET services and APIs, and at the moment I'm mostly converting ASP.NET stuff to ASP.NET Core.
