An Atypical ASP.NET Core 6 Design Patterns Guide

Introduction

The goal of this book is not to create yet another design pattern book; instead, the chapters are organized according to scale and topic, allowing you to start small with a strong foundation and build slowly upon it, in just the same way that you would build a program.

Instead of this being a guide that covers a few ways of applying a design pattern, we will explore the thought processes behind the systems we are designing from a software engineer’s point of view.

This is not a magic recipe book, and from experience, there is no magic recipe when designing software; there is only your logic, knowledge, experience, and analytical skills. Let’s define “experience” as your past successes and failures. And don’t worry, you will fail during your career, but don’t get discouraged by it. The faster you fail, the faster you can recover and learn, leading to successful products. Many techniques covered in this book should help...

What is a design pattern?

Since you just purchased a book about design patterns, I guess that you have some idea of what design patterns are, but let’s just make sure that we are on the same page.

Abstract definition: A design pattern is a proven technique that can be used to solve a specific problem.

In this book, we will apply different patterns to solve different problems and leverage some open source tools to go further, faster! Abstract definitions make people sound intelligent and all, but there is no better way to learn than by experimenting with something, and design patterns are no different.

If that definition does not make sense to you yet, don’t worry. You should have enough information by the end of the book to correlate the multiple practical examples and explanations with that definition, making it clear enough.

I like to compare programming to playing with LEGO® because what you have to do is generally the same: put small pieces together...

Anti-patterns and code smells

Anti-patterns and code smells are architectural bad practices or tips about possible bad design. Learning about best practices is as important as learning about bad ones, which is where we start. There are multiple anti-patterns and code smells throughout the book to help you get started.

Anti-patterns

An anti-pattern is the opposite of a design pattern: it is a proven flawed technique that will most likely cause you some trouble and cost you time and money (and probably give you a headache or two along the way).

An anti-pattern is a pattern that seems to be a good idea and that seems to be the solution you were looking for, but that in the end will most likely cause more harm than good. Some anti-patterns started as legitimate design patterns and were labeled anti-patterns later. Sometimes, it is a matter of opinion, and sometimes the classification can be influenced by the programming language.

Let’s look at an example next. We...

Description

An Atypical ASP.NET Core 6 Design Patterns Guide, Second Edition approaches programming like playing with LEGO®: snapping small pieces together to create something beautiful. Thoroughly updated for ASP.NET Core 6, with further coverage of microservices patterns, data contracts, and event-driven architecture, this book gives you the tools to build and glue reliable components together to improve your programmatic masterpieces. The chapters are organized based on scale and topic, allowing you to start small and build on a strong base, the same way that you would develop a program. You will begin by exploring basic design patterns, SOLID architectural principles, dependency injection, and other ASP.NET Core 6 mechanisms. You will explore component-scale patterns, and then move to higher level application-scale patterns and techniques to better structure your applications. Finally, you'll advance to the client side to connect the dots with tools like Blazor and make ASP.NET Core a viable full-stack web development framework. You will supplement your learning with practical use cases and best practices, exploring a range of significant Gang of Four (GoF) design patterns along the way. By the end of the book, you will be comfortable combining and implementing patterns in different ways, and crafting software solutions of any scale.

Who is this book for?

The book is intended for intermediate software and web developers with an understanding of .NET who want to write flexible, maintainable, and robust code for building scalable web applications. Knowledge of C# programming and an understanding of web concepts like HTTP is necessary.

What you will learn

  • Apply the SOLID principles for building flexible and maintainable software
  • Get to grips with .NET dependency injection
  • Work with GoF design patterns such as strategy, decorator, façade, and composite
  • Explore the MVC patterns for designing web APIs and web applications using Razor
  • Discover layering techniques and tenets of clean architecture
  • Become familiar with CQRS and vertical slice architecture as an alternative to layering
  • Understand microservices patterns and when they can benefit your applications
  • Build ASP.NET user interfaces from server-side to client-side Blazor

I've worked in the Software Industry for about 20 years now, and I can honestly say, this book does a great job of organizing information into more "easily digestible" bits so that someone coming along new can start to learn. I didn't actually learn anything new from reading it, but I appreciate the content and structure of the book, and the clear experience of the Author in both comprehending the technology and his ability to articulate and share that knowledge.One of the things I like in the book is how he breaks down concepts when needed, but also isn't pedantic, so a seasoned reader can brush up on topics and not feel like the information is too basic. That being said, it's definitely a book intended for the Beginner to Intermediate levels of Developer to help them start expanding their knowledge into a larger scope of engineering and architectural reasoning. This book will aid in helping early professionals to bridge the gap between the "developer" and the Software Engineer/Architect.My favorite overall experience about the content is that the author takes the time to explain relevant side-topics, but doesn't overburden the reader with every detail, rather, points them to necessary resources to allow them to expand on their knowledge. Sometimes just making sure the reader knows that something exists, rather than passing over it because it's not the focus of the book, can leave blanks in the learning process. I've always agreed with the concept, "you don't know what you don't know", and this book is good about at least bringing light to nuances that seasoned developers implicitly understand or recognize.

This book touched on many parts of a .NET developer's day-to-day work starting from basic to advanced level concepts. I am impressed with all the working examples in C# and how they are related to my daily work. Amazing to see the second edition.If you are looking for material that talks not only about the academic stuff but also the practical industry-level project work, then this is the material for you. I see a very few people touch the level like CQRS pattern which is a pretty common pattern for large-scale projects - you will get that explained in this book.

From the moment you begin as a software developer, you come across one of hundreds of design patterns. A design pattern is a repeatable, recognizable approach to solving a problem. You could go into a project and be told "we're using the repository pattern for X, Y, and Z" and you hopefully would know what that means.As you learn more and more patterns, the lines blur when you should use approach A or approach B. A lot of it comes down to experience and preference.This book does a really good job of laying out how design patterns can be applied to actual ASP.NET Core applications. If you're a new developer, it's a goldmine of information. If you're an established developer, there is likely some nuggets of knowledge to pick up here!

Have you ever done one of those entry level courses online and really want to continue to learn but you are not sure which route to go? This book is a great option for that and an awesome reference if you are looking for a book to have on hand.Its going to show you the next steps that you are going to need to understand to create secure business grade applications in ASP.NET or C#Knowing syntax isn’t that big of a deal in our current day and age with things like google, but understanding patterns and methodologies is more important and it crosses over to newer languages. I’m not saying you won’t learn syntax, but you are going to learn a lot more with this book. Things like unit testing, code quality and architecture. This is that 2nd step into programming, and I would recommend it to everyone wanting a deeper understanding past that surface level course online.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
