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.

Chapter 1

  1. No. However, sending a body with a GET request is not forbidden by the HTTP specifications, but such a request semantic is not defined either. It is preferable to avoid sending GET requests with a body.
  2. Long methods are indicators that a method handles too many responsibilities and should be split into multiple methods or have some of the responsibilities extracted to other classes.
  3. No. Target .NET Standard 2.0 when you want to support most runtime versions, like .NET Framework and .NET 6+. Target .NET Standard 2.1 to share code between Mono and Xamarin. Otherwise, target .NET 6+ directly.
  4. A code smell represents a potential design flaw that could benefit from being rewritten.
