A book for the aspiring .NET software architect - design scalable and high-performance enterprise solutions using the latest features of C# 12 and .NET 8

Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook

Key Features:

• Get introduced to software architecture fundamentals and begin applying them in .NET
• Explore the main technologies used by software architects and choose the best ones for your needs
• Master new developments in .NET with the help of a practical case study that looks at software architecture for a travel agency

Book Description:

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.

By the end of this book, you will be able to transform user requirements into technical needs and deliver highly scalable enterprise software architectures.

What You Will Learn:

• Program and maintain Azure DevOps and explore GitHub Projects
• Manage software requirements to design functional and non-functional needs
• Apply architectural approaches such as layered architecture and domain-driven design
• Make effective choices between cloud-based and data storage solutions
• Implement resilient frontend microservices, worker microservices, and distributed transactions
• Understand when to use test-driven development (TDD) and alternative approaches
• Choose the best option for cloud development, from IaaS to Serverless

Who this book is for:

This book is for engineers and senior software developers aspiring to become architects or looking to build enterprise applications with the .NET stack.
