Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook

Key FeaturesGet introduced to software architecture fundamentals and begin applying them in .NETExplore the main technologies used by software architects and choose the best ones for your needsMaster new developments in .NET with the help of a practical case study that looks at software architecture for a travel agencyBook Description

Software Architecture with C# 12 and .NET 8 puts high-level design theory to work in a .NET context, teaching you the key skills, technologies, and best practices required to become an effective .NET software architect.

This fourth edition puts emphasis on a case study that will bring your skills to life. You’ll learn how to choose between different architectures and technologies at each level of the stack. You’ll take an even closer look at Blazor and explore OpenTelemetry for observability, as well as a more practical dive into preparing .NET microservices for Kubernetes integration.

Divided into three parts, this book starts with the fundamentals of software architecture, covering C# best practices, software domains, design patterns, DevOps principles for CI/CD, and more. The second part focuses on the technologies, from choosing data storage in the cloud to implementing frontend microservices and working with Serverless. You’ll learn about the main communication technologies used in microservices, such as REST API, gRPC, Azure Service Bus, and RabbitMQ. The final part takes you through a real-world case study where you’ll create software architecture for a travel agency.

By the end of this book, you will be able to transform user requirements into technical needs and deliver highly scalable enterprise software architectures.

What’s new in this fourth edition of Software Architecture with C# 12 and .NET 8?

The topics covered are analyzed in greater detail and have been updated for .NET 8 and the latest Azure components. We’ve also added a new practical chapter on developing .NET applications for Kubernetes.

This edition book has been organized into three parts, creating a flow that will guide you in your journey to becoming a software architect: architectural fundamentals, .NET technologies, and practical coding with a great case study.

Highlights from the book’s World Wide Travel Club case study:

Code examples in past editions restructured and re-organized into a case study Examining user needs and managing requirements with Azure DevOps Understanding the application domains and choosing cloud data storage Implementing worker microservices with gRPC and RabbitMQ

What are the most important things a .NET software architect should know?

Gabriel: Software architects are specialists in being generalists. That means understanding the whole process of developing software, from requirements to testing, choosing the best options during the development lifecycle, and designing solutions connected to a world where everything is changing so fast. You need to be a specialist in diverse technologies; that is why we have focused the book on modern development using C# 12, .NET 8, and Azure.

Francesco: You should know modern microservices architectures and communication techniques, with their associated .NET implementations/tools. You should be aware of the features of .NET technologies so you can harness them effectively. I speak of modern development and testing methods, DDD and related patterns, microservices features, organization, and design techniques. Understanding orchestrators like Kubernetes, containers, and their .NET 8 usages are a must, as well as all .NET frameworks: ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework, Blazor, and MAUI.

How does this book differ from other books on C# 12 and .NET 8?

Although we’re using .NET 8, the current Long Term Support version of .NET, and the book’s programming language is C# 12, we don’t just talk about technology. We connect different modern topics needed to design an enterprise application, enabling you to understand how these techniques work together. This means the book focuses more on architectures, patterns, and design techniques than on the syntax of the language and its features.

In summary, the book assumes you already have basic knowledge of .NET and C#, driving you toward their usage for implementing cutting-edge applications based on microservices and modern architectures and design techniques.
