An Atypical ASP.NET Core 6 Design Patterns Guide: A SOLID adventure into architectural principles and design patterns using .NET 6 and C# 10, 2nd Edition

by Carl-Hugo Marcotte

The professional developer's essential guide to building robust, maintainable, and flexible web apps by leveraging C# 10 and .NET 6 features and component- and application-scale design patterns 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. 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.

It was definitely “atypical”, the writer used examples throughout that were…well rather confusing actually. The basis of teaching SOLID development is there, but I’ve read other books on SOLID that were quicker to the point.

I feel if the author didn’t want to write a “brick” he could have condensed ut by 75% by focusing on the “WHY” and benefit of applying each of the SOLID principles, and then showing simple examples of how to apply the principle. It was a bit all over the place.

S - Single-responsiblity Principle.
O - Open-closed Principle.
L - Liskov Substitution Principle.
I - Interface Segregation Principle.
D - Dependency Inversion Principle

Not a book you should read cover-to-cover. Find the pattern you need and use it as a reference guide.
