Getting Started with .NET Core

When Microsoft released the first version of .NET Framework, a platform for creating, running, and deploying services and applications, it was a game changer and a revolution in the Microsoft development community. Several cutting-edge applications were developed with the initial version of the framework and then several versions were released afterwards.

.NET Framework has thrived and matured over the years with support for multiple programming languages and the inclusion of several features to make programming on the platform easy and worthwhile. But as robust and appealing the framework is, there is the limitation of restricting the development and deployment of applications to Microsoft-only operating system variants.

In order to create a cloud-optimized, cross-platform implementation of .NET Framework for developers to solve the limitations...

Key benefits

• Create tests to quickly detect and resolve issues when writing portable code

• Uncover code integration issues that improve code quality using continuous integration

• Set up and use data-driven unit testing to verify your code

Description

This book guides developers to create robust, production-ready C# 7 and .NET Core applications through the practice of test-driven development process. In C# and .NET Core Test-Driven Development, you will learn the different stages of the TDD life cycle, basics of TDD, best practices, and anti-patterns. It will teach you how to create an ASP.NET Core MVC sample application, write testable code with SOLID principles and set up a dependency injection for your sample application. Next, you will learn the xUnit testing framework and learn how to use its attributes and assertions. You’ll see how to create data-driven unit tests and mock dependencies in your code. You will understand the difference between running and debugging your tests on .NET Core on LINUX versus Windows and Visual Studio. As you move forward, you will be able to create a healthy continuous integration process for your sample application using GitHub, TeamCity, Cake, and Microsoft VSTS. By the end of this book, you will have learned how to write clean and robust code through the effective practice of TDD, set up CI build steps to test and build applications as well as how to package application for deployment on NuGet.

What you will learn

• Write flexible, maintainable, and verifiable code for .NET Core

• Write testable code using SOLID principles and dependency injections

• Recognize the characteristics of a good unit test

• Structure and group your unit test

• Use mock objects to handle dependencies

• Set up an end-to-end continuous integration process

This is a great read thoroughly enjoying it. Yes there might be a lot of theory but its very important information on how and what to use rather than just following a book full of examples that dont explain in great detail.

I purchased this book. I've read about half of it now and i'm very impressed with the simplicity in which tough coding concepts are explained. The examples provided are excellent and help to drive the authors point across. This book has taught me clean coding principles, SOLID and writing testable code.

A good intro to TDD which presents some decent points about how to refactor code and design tests. The one caveat is that it it based heavily on xUnit so if your organization requires MSTest or nUnit, you will need to translate thought processes a bit.

Good coverage on xUnit. With it also covered MSTest and NUnit. Coverage of TeamCity and Cale was too light. Wish it covered Jenkins.

This has to be one of the worst technical books I have ever read. Although having said that, if you’re wanting to get details on TDD and testing in C# it will probably tell you what you need to know.The issue with it is the structure. Early on for example it goes through some examples of bad coding - quite a few, and I was left wondering so what would be better? Well eventually the author gets around to some brief examples of better practices but rather than this is bad, do thing instead, bad do this instead etc it’s all lumped together and the good examples don’t have a whole lot of explaining why they’re better.The bad structure continues often using terms that the book seems to expect you to know, which several chapters later it then goes on to explain.Another issue is the level of detail on many things - or lack of it. I found a lot of it to be factual statements strung together rather detailed explanation. Whilst towards the end the book spends multiple chapters going into great detail on the Cake build automation system. I’d have been happier with less detail on that and far more on more fundamental things like integration testing.Overall, it’s a tough read that you may benefit from reading cover to cover multiple times to make up for the structure issues.
