Overview of this book

An Atypical ASP.NET Core 6 Design Patterns Guide, Second Edition approaches programming like playing with LEGO®: snapping small pieces together to create something beautiful. Thoroughly updated for ASP.NET Core 6, with further coverage of microservices patterns, data contracts, and event-driven architecture, this book gives you the tools to build and glue reliable components together to improve your programmatic masterpieces. The chapters are organized based on scale and topic, allowing you to start small and build on a strong base, the same way that you would develop a program. You will begin by exploring basic design patterns, SOLID architectural principles, dependency injection, and other ASP.NET Core 6 mechanisms. You will explore component-scale patterns, and then move to higher level application-scale patterns and techniques to better structure your applications. Finally, you'll advance to the client side to connect the dots with tools like Blazor and make ASP.NET Core a viable full-stack web development framework. You will supplement your learning with practical use cases and best practices, exploring a range of significant Gang of Four (GoF) design patterns along the way. By the end of the book, you will be comfortable combining and implementing patterns in different ways, and crafting software solutions of any scale.

An end is simply a new beginning

This may be the end of the book, but it is also the beginning of your journey into software architecture and design. No matter who you are, I hope you found this to be a refreshing view of design patterns and how to design SOLID web apps.

Depending on your goal and current situation, you may want to explore one or more application-scale design patterns in more depth, start your next personal project, start a business, apply for a new job, or all of those at the same time. No matter your goal, keep in mind that designing software is technical but also an art. There is rarely one right way of implementing a feature, but multiple acceptable ways of doing so. Experience is your best friend, so keep programming, learn from your mistakes, and move forward. Remember that we are all born knowing next to nothing, so not knowing something is expected; we need to learn. Please ask your teammates questions, learn from them, and share your knowledge with others...
