Companion books to continue your learning journey

I have written a trilogy of books for your complete learning journey with .NET 8. The two other books act as companions to this book.

The trilogy is as follows:

The first book, C# 12 and .NET 8 - Modern Cross-Platform Development Fundamentals, covers the fundamentals of the C# language, the .NET libraries, and using ASP.NET Core with Blazor for web development.
The second book, Apps and Services with .NET 8, covers more specialized libraries, building services, and building graphical user interfaces for websites, desktop, and mobile apps with Blazor and .NET MAUI.
The third book (the one you’re reading now) covers important tools and skills you should learn to become a well-rounded professional .NET developer.

A summary of the .NET 8 trilogy and their most important topics is shown in Figure 20.1:
