Learn multiple ways to organize your application code and become a more flexible ASP.NET Core developer
Explore hands-on design patterns, learn architectural principles, and how to sidestep anti-patterns
Refactor code toward modern application design, such as feature-based vertical slice and clean architecture

Description

This unique ASP.NET Core book will fill in the gaps in your REST API and backend designs. Learn how to build robust, maintainable, and flexible apps using Gang of Four (GoF) design patterns and modern architectural principles. This new edition is updated for .NET 8 and focuses exclusively on the backend, with new content on REST APIs, the REPR pattern, and building modular monoliths. You’ll start by covering foundational concepts like REST, the SOLID principles, Minimal APIs, dependency injection in .NET, and other ASP.NET Core 8 mechanisms. Then, you’ll learn to develop components using design patterns, including many from the GoF. Finally, you’ll explore organizing your application code with patterns that vary from layers to feature-oriented vertical slice designs, covering CQS and a deep dive into microservices along the way. A brand-new e-commerce project at the end of the book will tie it all together. This how-to guide will teach you how to assemble your own APIs from building blocks, to suit whatever real-world requirements you may have.

Who is this book for?

This book is for intermediate-level ASP.NET Core developers who want to improve their C# app code structure and API design skills. ASP.NET developers who want to modernize their knowledge and enhance their technical architecture skills will also like this book. It’s also a good refresher for those in software design roles with more experience looking to update their expertise. A good knowledge of C# programming and a basic understanding of web concepts is necessary to get the most out of this book, though some refreshers are included along the way.

"Architecting ASP.NET Core Applications" by Carl Marcotte is a must-read for any developer looking to deepen their understanding of building scalable and maintainable web applications using ASP.NET Core. Marcotte’s expertise and clear writing style make this book an invaluable resource for both intermediate and advanced developers.The book covers a broad spectrum of topics crucial to modern application architecture, including dependency injection, middleware, security, and more. What sets this book apart is its focus on architectural best practices and design patterns specific to ASP.NET Core, which are often glossed over in more general texts.Marcotte does an excellent job of explaining complex concepts with clarity and precision, using real-world examples that demonstrate how to apply these principles effectively. Each chapter builds on the previous ones, reinforcing the reader's understanding while gradually introducing more sophisticated architectural strategies.Additionally, the book includes practical advice on testing and deploying ASP.NET Core applications, ensuring that readers not only learn how to build the applications but also how to integrate them seamlessly into production environments. This holistic approach is particularly helpful for developers looking to transition projects from development to production.However, beginners may find the content challenging as it assumes a familiarity with ASP.NET Core's fundamentals. For those new to the framework, it might be beneficial to start with a more introductory resource before tackling this advanced material.In conclusion, "Architecting ASP.NET Core Applications" by Carl Marcotte is an excellent guide for any developer serious about mastering ASP.NET Core. Its comprehensive coverage of architectural concepts, combined with practical implementation tips, makes it an essential addition to any professional developer's library.
