Section 2 - Working with Microsoft Orleans

This section discusses the motivation behind the Microsoft Orleans framework and its most important design choices. In this section, we'll learn about Orleans concepts such as grains, silos, state persistence, timers, and reminders. Throughout the process, we'll apply everything we've learned to create a fictitious hotel management application called Distel.

• Chapter 3, Introduction to Microsoft Orleans
• Chapter 4, Understanding Grains and Silos
