Apps and Services with .NET 7

By: Mark J. Price

Overview of this book

Apps and Services with .NET 7 is for .NET 6 and .NET 7 developers who want to kick their C# and .NET understanding up a gear by learning the practical skills and knowledge they need to build real-world applications and services. It covers specialized libraries that will help you monitor and improve performance, secure your data and applications, and internationalize your code and apps. With chapters that put a variety of technologies into practice, including Web API, OData, gRPC, GraphQL, SignalR, and Azure Functions, this book will give you a broader scope of knowledge than other books that often focus on only a handful of .NET technologies. It covers the latest developments, libraries, and technologies that will help keep you up to date. You’ll also leverage .NET MAUI to develop mobile apps for iOS and Android as well as desktop apps for Windows and macOS.

Why a survey project?

Before I explain the survey project challenge, let’s talk about the best way to learn any new skill or technology.

What is the best way to learn?

The best way to learn how to build apps and services with .NET is to work on real projects that you would use yourself or that at least spark an interest in you.

If you are a student, or a professional developer who has no choice over the projects or technologies that you implement, how can you work on a real project that needs the technologies you are interested in learning about?

In this chapter, I will introduce my idea for how to achieve that goal.

Attributes of a good learning project

To help us learn all the different technologies that .NET developers need to know these days, we need a project that:

  • Genuinely needs a mix of technologies and skills.
  • Is cool, fun, and practical, so it will stretch our skills both from an engineering perspective as well as creatively...
