Key benefits

Learn multiple ways to organize your application code and become a more flexible ASP.NET Core developer
Explore hands-on design patterns, learn architectural principles, and how to sidestep anti-patterns
Refactor code toward modern application design, such as feature-based vertical slice and clean architecture

Description

This unique ASP.NET Core book will fill in the gaps in your REST API and backend designs. Learn how to build robust, maintainable, and flexible apps using Gang of Four (GoF) design patterns and modern architectural principles. This new edition is updated for .NET 8 and focuses exclusively on the backend, with new content on REST APIs, the REPR pattern, and building modular monoliths. You’ll start by covering foundational concepts like REST, the SOLID principles, Minimal APIs, dependency injection in .NET, and other ASP.NET Core 8 mechanisms. Then, you’ll learn to develop components using design patterns, including many from the GoF. Finally, you’ll explore organizing your application code with patterns that vary from layers to feature-oriented vertical slice designs, covering CQS and a deep dive into microservices along the way. A brand-new e-commerce project at the end of the book will tie it all together. This how-to guide will teach you how to assemble your own APIs from building blocks, to suit whatever real-world requirements you may have.

Who is this book for?

This book is for intermediate-level ASP.NET Core developers who want to improve their C# app code structure and API design skills. ASP.NET developers who want to modernize their knowledge and enhance their technical architecture skills will also like this book. It’s also a good refresher for those in software design roles with more experience looking to update their expertise. A good knowledge of C# programming and a basic understanding of web concepts is necessary to get the most out of this book, though some refreshers are included along the way.

What you will learn

Apply the SOLID principles for building flexible and maintainable software
Test your apps effectively with automated tests, including black-box testing
Embark on mastering ASP.NET Core dependency injection
Work with GoF design patterns including strategy, decorator, facade, and composite
Design REST APIs using Minimal APIs and ASP.NET Core MVC
Discover layering and the tenets of clean architecture
Use feature-oriented techniques as an alternative to layering
Explore microservices, CQS, REPR, vertical slice architecture, and many more patterns

I am enjoying a lot this book; I would say that it should be required reading for any backend .NET developer at intermediate and advanced levels.I found lots of very good material to learn, re-learn, unlearn, covering (in addition to the traditional GoF design patterns) the newest .NET 8 C#/ASP.NET API specific implementations of minimal APIs, microservices, vertical slicing, automated testing, etc.There are many other very good Architecture and Design Patterns books out there in general (ie: 'Clean Architecture') or specifically for the .NET platform (ie: 'Adaptive Code', 'Code that Fits in your Head') and others, but this book rounds up many essential and the latest concepts and presents them in a very comprehensive and appealing manner.The book focuses on the API/backend. It doesn't cover frontend .NET technologies like Blazor or MAUI; but perhaps it doesn't need to, there are many other books for those topics; it would have been nice, though, to maybe had covered couple of them (MVU, MVVM, etc.).I find the book a very interesting refresher, I'm still going through it and for me it's filling lots of gaps, gray areas and covering new ideas and design approaches.My specific approach is that I'm going through the concepts and examples step-by-step even if I feel I know the material.

This book was a great addition to my collection. I will say if you are a beginner in ASP.NET Core or are coming from another language or framework this book might be a little bit confusing. If you have been using C# and .NET for a few years or built a few apps with the language and framework then you should have no trouble with understanding the concepts taught in this book.The book is not a beginner's guide to ASP.NET Core but rather a book on the common design patterns implemented while using the framework. The author has done a great job on explaining the dos and don'ts of the framework and how you can follow in the footsteps of others to ensure a sound and secure application is built following the principles and patterns discussed.If you are looking to increase your architecting skills with ASP.NET Core and C# then this book will help guide you on that journey.
