Native Libraries in .NET Core

In this chapter, we are going to learn about ncurses native libraries and how to extend console capabilities in .NET Core on Linux. We will also learn how to Interop with existing native code. This chapter will introduce the ncurses native library and Interop with existing native and Mono libraries. We will build a sample native library in C++ and we will also learn how to create an application that implements the new library and ncurses. The purpose of this chapter is to get an understanding of Interop with existing libraries, and the ability to extend console capabilities through implementing ncurses.

This chapter will cover the following topics:

Introduction to ncurses
Interop with existing native and Mono libraries
Building a sample native library (C++)
A sample application to implement the new library and ncurses

...

Description

With the rise in the number of tools and technologies available today, developers and architects are always exploring ways to create better and smarter solutions. Before, the differences between target platforms was a major roadblock, but that's not the case now. .NET Core 2.0 By Example will take you on an exciting journey to building better software. This book provides fresh and relevant content to .NET Core 2.0 in a succinct format that’s enjoyable to read. It also delivers concepts, along with the implications, design decisions, and potential pitfalls you might face when targeting Linux and Windows systems, in a logical and simple way. With the .NET framework at its center, the book comprises of five varied projects: a multiplayer Tic-tac-toe game; a real-time chat application, Let'sChat; a chatbot; a microservice-based buying-selling application; and a movie booking application. You will start each chapter with a high-level overview of the content, followed by the above example applications described in detail. By the end of each chapter, you will not only be proficient with the concepts, but you’ll also have created a tangible component in the application. By the end of the book, you will have built five solid projects using all the tools and support provided by the .NET Core 2.0 framework.

Being a developer myself and was looking for resources to get up to speed with .Net Core , this book proved to be an excellent starter. The way it builds up right from machine set up and slowly progresses into building up fully functional applications, is seamless and eloquent.The thing that i most liked about this book is , how the instructions of the samples are not limited to the development but extends to the deployment and testing of it. It also has a brief introduction to cloud , followed by an example on how to leverage cloud for application hosting. To summarize, this book is one of my good reads.

Good book for the beginners. Examples are good and the apps developed in the book, makes it interesting. Tips and tricks on ASP.NET Core 2.0 and Azure were fresh and great to know.

PROS:Learned in-depth about ASP.NET Core 2.0 , the examples of developing four simple apps on Azure really helped.I think it is great for beginners and intermediate developers starting with .NET Core 2.0 as it explains the fundamentals from ground zero and using examples.Tips and tricks section was my favorite, which shares a wealth of handy information about Azure, .NET Core working and performance. Gives me quick knowledge which experts take months to accumulate.CONS:The book covers the breadth of technology. Due to the format of the book, few of the topics are not covered in depth, but the additional links and references sort of pointed me in the right direction.Overall, I would recommend this book to people new to asp.net.

Not only is this a great book for someone who is starting their journey to .NET Core but also helps an intermediate developer to get a clearer understanding of .NET core and fill in some of those gaps. The book does expect you to have a fair understanding of C# and basic programming constructs like async/await etc.The books starts off by discussing how to get started with .NET Core on various platforms - whether it's on Windows, Mac or Linux, covering various tools relevant to each of the operating systems.The authors then give examples of building a Tic Tac Toe game, a Chat application and even a movie booking app on Azure using .NET Core and along the way introducing us to various concepts like ASP.NET Core, SignalR, EF Core and take us through various elements in the platform, giving a good idea of when to use what.Personally what I loved about the book is how it takes an example first approach to explain the concepts in a clear and concise manner which otherwise could have been quite boring and dry.In terms of what is missing - some limitations of .NET Core could have been discussed and where not to use and instead prefer .NET. Practical use cases of where you'd use .NET Core over would also help.In terms of what could be better - Future roadmap talks only about .NET Core 2.1 in Microservices chapter - but its limited to that.For someone coming from .NET background, it would have been good to highlight similarities & differences between .NET Core and .NET (Few are listed, but scattered over like under the heading Handy things to know inside the Microservices with .NET Core chapter)I personally also felt some aspects of Azure were not required in this book since they are not really relevant to .NET Core such as spinning up Azure VMs & Automating using Powershell. Rather an introduction to Powershell Core would have been handy.Overall this book is a great read and would definitely recommend this.

In Chpter 8: Could make the getting started with EFcore code example to work. The MovieBooking app had problems though. Theory coverage is great though.
