applications on cloud-native platforms using architectural best
practices with .NET 5, C# 9, microservices, and ML.NET
Key Features:
-
Get up to speed with .NET 5's new improvements and features
-
Discover how to improve existing code design and enhance software
maintainability
-
Explore explanations and techniques for making programs easier to
understand and change
Book Description:
.NET 5 is the unification of all .NET technologies in a single framework
that can run on all platforms and provide a consistent experience to
developers, regardless of the device, operating system (OS), or cloud
platform they choose.
By updating to .NET 5, you can build software that can quickly adapt to
the rapidly changing demands of modern consumers and stay up to date on
the latest technology trends in .NET.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of all the technologies that
will form the future landscape of .NET using practical examples based on
real-world scenarios, along with best practices to help you migrate from
legacy platforms.
You'll start by learning about Microsoft's vision and rationale for the
unification of the platforms. Then, you'll cover all the new language
enhancements in C# 9. As you advance, you'll find out how you can align
yourself with modern technology trends, focusing on everything from
microservices to orchestrated containerized deployments. Finally, you'll
learn how to effectively integrate machine learning in .NET code.
By the end of this .NET book, you'll have gained a thorough
understanding of the .NET 5 platform, together with a readiness to adapt
to future .NET release cycles, and you'll be able to make architectural
decisions about porting legacy systems and code bases to a newer
platform.
What You Will Learn:
-
Explore the key performance improvement areas when migrating to modern
architectures
-
Understand app design and development using .NET 5
-
Discover how to shift from legacy to modern application design using
microservices and cloud-native architecture
-
Explore common migration pitfalls and make the right decisions in
situations where multiple options are available
-
Understand the process of deploying .NET 5 code on serverless and
containerized hosts, along with its benefits
-
Find out what ML.NET has to offer and build .NET apps that use machine
learning services
Who this book is for:
This book is for experienced developers as well as software architects
who are looking to gain knowledge of the new features and capabilities
of .NET 5, along with guidance on modern architectural patterns. If
you're a developer who has previously worked on .NET, WPF, ASP.NET,
Entity Framework, or other popular .NET libraries, this book will help
you understand the migration process for their modern counterparts.
Although experience with .NET Core is not required, working knowledge of
the C# language and .NET framework is assumed.
