Technical requirements
There are several prerequisites you will need to have an understanding of or have installed on your machine to use the code base and follow along with the examples. These include the following:
- Git
- Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code
- Docker
- Kubernetes
- Service-oriented architectures
- Domain-Driven Design (DDD)
We will be using an application that has been custom-developed and is included with the source code for this book. The primary platform we will be using to develop in will be .NET 7. All examples will use Visual Studio 2022 as the primary integrated developer environment (IDE). Either Visual Studio 2022 or Visual Studio Code will be required to develop .NET 7 solutions.
