I've had time to browse through an eBook copy of Mark Price's new book for .NET developers while I wait for the print copy to arrive. I'm already a fan of Mark's 'Modern Cross Platform Development' and 'Apps and Services' titles for .NET 8.This book focuses more on the tools and practices that turn a .NET coder into a well-rounded .NET developer. He covers so much that it's hard to write a short review that does the book justice. The book starts off with the basics of getting your dev environment ready, then it covers topics like git workflows, debugging tools in Visual Studio, logging, diagrams (I love Mermaid), dependency injection, unit testing, perf testing, and he even gets into the new stuff in .NET Aspire.I liked the topics toward the end of the book about design patterns (and how they apply to .NET development), architecture practices, and moving your career forward. Each chapter has really helpful (and practical) exercises - don't skip them!If you're a new to mid-level .NET developer and want to move ahead to senior dev or architect roles, this book is a really nice place to start. Go check out the table of contents, there's so much here!

I initially posted a negative review due to a few typos, but I have changed my mind. This book is really good, and I recommend it. It got me a lot more conformable with the .Net CLI and find new capabilities of the CLI that I have never used or was aware of. There are quite a few subjects in here that I was dying to find in a .Net book. It is well worth the money.
