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.

Appendix A – Miscellaneous Best Practices

  1. What is a practice? Give a few examples from our routine/daily life.

A practice may be one or more routine activities. To learn to drive, we should practice our driving. A practice is an activity that is not required to be memorized. There are a lot of examples of practice from our daily life: eating while watching TV shows, and so on. It does not break your rhythm to eat anything while you're watching your favorite TV show.

  1. We can achieve a specific coding skill with practice. Explain this.

Yes, we can achieve a specific coding skill with practice. The practice needs attention and consistency. For example, you want to learn Test-Driven Development. To do so, you need to learn it first. You can learn it by practicing TDD-Katas.

  1. What is Test-Driven Development and how does it help developers to practice?
