Chapter 1: Modern Software Development and ABP Framework

Building software systems has always been complicated. Especially in these modern times, there are many challenges while creating even a basic business solution. You often find yourself implementing standard non-business requirements and digging into infrastructure problems rather than implementing your business code, which is the actual valuable part of the system you are trying to build.

ABP Framework helps you focus on the code that adds value to the stakeholders by offering a robust software architecture, automating the repetitive details, and providing the necessary infrastructure to help build modern web solutions. It provides an end-to-end, consistent development experience and improves your productivity. ABP gets you and your team up to speed with all the modern software development best practices pre-applied.

This book is the ultimate guide to developing web applications and systems using ABP Framework by following modern software development approaches and best practices.

This first chapter introduces the challenges of building a well-architected enterprise solution and explains how ABP Framework addresses these challenges. I will also explain the purpose and the structure of this book.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

• Challenges of developing an enterprise web solution
