Preface

This book contains various topics for the development of enterprise applications architecture for diversified applications. Whether it’s a layered architecture, service-oriented architecture, microservices architecture, or a cloud-specific solution, you will learn best practices in developing enterprise application architecture with .NET Core. It also covers emerging fields, such as DevOps and Big Data, for the broader perspective.
This book starts with a brief introduction to enterprise architecture (EA) and the key components in EA practice. It then takes you through the SOLID principles and design patterns in software development and explains the various aspects of distributed computing to keep your applications efficient and scalable. These chapters act as a catalyst to start the practical implementation for the designing and development of applications using various architectural approaches. Gradually, you will explore different approaches to implement security in your applications and explore various authentication models and authorization techniques. In the end, you will learn the concepts of the emerging fields and practices of DevOps, Containerization, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, and more.
