Hands-On Design Patterns with C# and .NET Core

By: Gaurav Aroraa, Jeffrey Chilberto

Overview of this book

Design patterns are essentially reusable solutions to common programming problems. When used correctly, they meet crucial software requirements with ease and reduce costs. This book will uncover effective ways to use design patterns and demonstrate their implementation with executable code specific to both C# and .NET Core. Hands-On Design Patterns with C# and .NET Core begins with an overview of object-oriented programming (OOP) and SOLID principles. It provides an in-depth explanation of the Gang of Four (GoF) design patterns, including creational, structural, and behavioral. The book then takes you through functional, reactive, and concurrent patterns, helping you write better code with streams, threads, and coroutines. Toward the end of the book, you’ll learn about the latest trends in architecture, exploring design patterns for microservices, serverless, and cloud native applications. You’ll even understand the considerations that need to be taken into account when choosing between different architectures such as microservices and MVC. By the end of the book, you will be able to write efficient and clear code and be comfortable working on scalable and maintainable projects of any size.

Enhancing our inventory application

The project is for a hypothetical situation where a company, FlixOne, wants to enhance an inventory management application to manage its growing collection of products. This is not a new application, as we have already started the development of this application and discussed the initial stage in Chapter 3, Implementing Design Patterns - Basics Part 1, where we have started developing a console-based inventory system. From time to time, stakeholders will review the application and try to meet end users' requirements. The enhancement is important, as this application will be used by both staff (to manage the inventory) and by customers (to browse and create new orders). The application will need to be scalable, and is an essential system for the business.

As this is a technical book, we will mostly discuss the various technical observations...
