An Atypical ASP.NET Core 5 Design Patterns Guide

By: Carl-Hugo Marcotte

Overview of this book

Design patterns are a set of solutions to many of the common problems occurring in software development. Knowledge of these design patterns helps developers and professionals to craft software solutions of any scale. ASP.NET Core 5 Design Patterns starts by exploring basic design patterns, architectural principles, dependency injection, and other ASP.NET Core mechanisms. You’ll explore the component scale as you discover patterns oriented toward small chunks of the software, and then move to application-scale patterns and techniques to understand higher-level patterns and how to structure the application as a whole. The book covers a range of significant GoF (Gangs of Four) design patterns such as strategy, singleton, decorator, facade, and composite. The chapters are organized based on scale and topics, allowing you to start small and build on a strong base, the same way that you would develop a program. With the help of use cases, the book will show you how to combine design patterns to display alternate usage and help you feel comfortable working with a variety of design patterns. Finally, you’ll advance to the client side to connect the dots and make ASP.NET Core a viable full-stack alternative. By the end of the book, you’ll be able to mix and match design patterns and have learned how to think about architecture and how it works.

Section 4: Designing at Application Scale

In this section, we enter the realm of application design. Instead of focusing on a smaller part of an application, we look at how we want to design the application itself. We start by looking into layering, which exposes the bases of application design, where we focus on the three most common layers used in layered applications before moving toward the evolution of layering. We explore two ways of modeling the domain model. We then explore a way to encapsulate and lower the burden of layering and model copy before moving on to newer architectural styles, such as vertical slice and microservices.

Each of these chapters could make a book by themselves, so we explore them at a higher level, helping you make more informed decisions when the time to choose an architectural style will arrive. This section is a starting point to further reading, while still filled with useful content, patterns, tips, and technologies to use straight away in your...
