Welcome to .NET 6, Microsoft's unified framework that converges the best
of the modern and traditional .NET Framework. This book will introduce
you to the new aspects of Microsoft's fully supported .NET 6 Framework
and will teach you how to get the most out of it. You will learn about
the progress to one unified .NET, including MAUI and the revival of
desktop development. You will dive into Roslyn, Blazor, CLI, Containers,
Cloud, and much more, using a "framework first" learning approach. You
will begin by learning what each tool is, its practical uses, and how to
apply it and then you will try it out on your own for learning
reinforcement. And, of course, there will be plenty of code samples
using C# 10.
Introducing .NET 6 is aimed at .NET developers, both junior
developers and those coming from the .NET framework, who want to
understand everything the modern framework has to offer, besides the
obvious programming languages. While you will still see a lot of
fabulous C# 10 throughout the book, the focus of this learning is all
about .NET and its tooling.
What You Will Learn
- Become a more versatile developer by knowing the variety of options
available to you in the .NET 6 framework and its powerful tooling
- Know the different front-end frameworks .NET offers, such as UWP, WPF,
and WinForms, and how they stack up to each other
- Understand the different communication protocols, such as REST and
gRPC, for your back-end services
- Discover the secrets of cloud-native development, such as serverless
computing with Azure Functions and deploying containers to Azure
Container Services
- Master the command line, take your skill set to the cloud, and
containerize your .NET 6 app
Who This Book Is For
Both students and more experienced developers, C# developers who want to
learn more about the framework they use, developers who want to be more
productive by diving deeper into the tooling that .NET 6 brings to the
fold, developers who need to make technical decisions. A working
knowledge of C# is recommended to follow the examples used in the book.
