The fourth edition of my book is out! You can buy it on Amazon
If you are a an aspiring .NET software architect, or a C# developer wishing to jump into the world of enterprice applications and cloud, this is the right book for you!
Software Architecture with C# 12 and .NET 8 puts high-level design theory to work in a .NET context, teaching you the key skills, technologies, and best practices required to become an effective .NET software architect.
This fourth edition puts emphasis on a case study that will bring your skills to life. You'll learn how to choose between different architectures and technologies at each level of the stack. You'll take an even closer look at Blazor and explore OpenTelemetry for observability, as well as a more practical dive into preparing .NET microservices for Kubernetes integration.
Divided into three parts, this book starts with the fundamentals of software architecture, covering C# best practices, software domains, design patterns, DevOps principles for CI/CD, and more. The second part focuses on the technologies, from choosing data storage in the cloud to implementing frontend microservices and working with Serverless. You'll learn about the main communication technologies used in microservices, such as REST API, gRPC, Azure Service Bus, and RabbitMQ. The final part takes you through a real-world case study where you'll create software architecture for a travel agency.
What’s new in this edition?
Topics are analyzed in greater detail and updated for .NET 8 and the latest Azure components. We have also added a new practical chapter on developing .NET applications for Kubernetes.
Finally, the book has been organized into three parts, creating a flow that will guide you in your journey to becoming a software architect: architectural fundamentals, .NET technologies, and practical coding with a great case study.
Highlights from the World Wide Travel Club case study:
- Code examples in past editions restructured and re-organized into a case study
- Examining user needs and managing requirements with Azure DevOps
- Understanding the application domains and choosing cloud data storage
- Implementing worker microservices with gRPC and RabbitMQ
How does this book differ from other books on C# 12 and .NET 8?
Although we are using .NET 8, the current Long Term Support version of .NET, and the book’s programming language is C# 12, we don’t only talk about technology. We connect different modern topics needed to design an enterprise application, and we enable you to understand how these techniques work together. This means the book focuses more on architectures, patterns, and design techniques, than on the syntax of the language and its features.
In a few words, the book assumes you already have basic knowledge of .NET and C#, driving you toward their usage for implementing cutting-edge applications based on microservices and modern architectures and design techniques.
