ASP.NET Core - Startup, Services and Middleware

Recently during one of my training programs someone asked - Can we change the name of the startup class in ASP.NET Core? What's the flow of an ASP.NET core request? This article attempts to answer these beginner questions in detail. It discusses the ASP.NET Core terminology such as application startup, services and middleware. It also briefly tells you how a custom services and middleware can be created and used in ASP.NET Core applications.
