Overview of this book

If you want to design and develop enterprise applications using .NET Core as the development framework and learn about industry-wide best practices and guidelines, then this book is for you. The book starts with a brief introduction to enterprise architecture, which will help you to understand what enterprise architecture is and what the key components are. It will then teach you about the types of patterns and the principles of software development, and explain the various aspects of distributed computing to keep your applications effective and scalable. These chapters act as a catalyst to start the practical implementation, and design and develop applications using different architectural approaches, such as layered architecture, service oriented architecture, microservices and cloud-specific solutions. Gradually, you will learn about the different approaches and models of the Security framework and explore various authentication models and authorization techniques, such as social media-based authentication and safe storage using app secrets. By the end of the book, you will get to know the concepts and usage of the emerging fields, such as DevOps, BigData, architectural practices, and Artificial Intelligence.

Layered Approach to Solution Architecture

There are various approaches when developing a solution architecture, and it is important to note that complexity should only be added in the architecture when it is required. Adding complexity to the architecture is not a bad practice and is acceptable if it solves a particular need or reduces the development effort for developers during the development life cycle. In a layered architecture, the application consists of various layers, namely, presentation, service, business, and data access layers, and every layer is responsible for serving specific tasks.

The layered approach is one of the widely used approaches in developing enterprise applications. In this chapter, we will study some of the core concepts of layered architecture and also develop an architecture using .NET Core to discuss this topic.

In this chapter, we will focus on the following topics:

  • Discuss the...
