Software Architecture with C# 12 and .NET 8 - Fourth Edition: Build enterprise applications using microservices, DevOps, EF Core, and design patterns for Azure

El libro tiene una gran cantidad de información sobre las diferentes fases del ciclo de vida del Software, tanto de manera teórica como ejemplos prácticos. Su enfoque técnico es hacia Asp.Net Core, Azure y arquitectura de Microservicios. Aunque algunos temas no están orientados al detalle, la descripción de cada uno es muy bien realizado, de modo que, uno se da una idea de las diferentes implementaciones que existen en el mercado. Me parece muy válido por parte de los autores, abordar temas como Docker, Kubernetes, Blazor y MAUI (éste brevemente) porque esto nos da una mirada de todas las tecnologías que intervienen en los proyectos y lo que significa empezar una carrera como arquitectos. Así que si tenés dudas, empezá con la lectura de este libro y verás que muchas de ellas serán resueltas.

This book prioritizes breadth over depth, but still manages to convey the majority of important information for any given architecture topic. I have been incredibly pleased by how concise, knowledgeable, and thorough the authors are. This book actually gives expert insight. Similar to how 'C# in depth' is less of a tutorial book and more of a deep dive, this book stays on my desk as a second reference when I don't feel like digging through stack overflow for the theory behind things. This has been very helpful for refactoring a legacy application into a modern minimal-api based .NET project leveraging microservices.

good one

Content is great and well explained, the editing/printing could be a bit better though, some images lack definition or focus and the text font used isn't the easiest to read, but the content is great and that's the most important.

I like to say this is the last piece in my .NET journey. I'm an experienced dev that already worked as TL using other technologies. I started learning .NET like 2 years and half from now. During those 2 years I read a lot of books in specific areas of the .NET platform (Unity, ASP.NET, EF Core, Blazor, etc) because I needed them for my job. This book is the last piece (and second one regarding architecture with .NET) of this journey. The book covers all the stuff you will need to design and build strong and reliable software starting from the foundation, the architecture. This is not a book for beginners, the authors assume you know the C# basics. But if you took a class of software engineering before most of the terms should sound familiar; at least in the few first chapters. The organization of the book couldn't be better. It starts from the basics of architecture, the functional and non-functional requirements; the latter term is something I haven't seen being used in a while hahaha. After that it shows how to manage them, you can tell how experienced the authors are at this point. After that everything should be easier to follow for you. The authors share their expertise in best practices showing some great examples on how to avoid messing up with your codebase. This will prepare you to move on to the next chapters that jumps back to the main topic, Architecture. The book will present the most used, in their experience, ways to architecture software. In my opinion is nice to not only have trending topics, but as well some of the patterns the industry followed the last 5-10 years. At that point you should be ready to apply all the new stuff presented in a very well-organized project. I personally appreciate the project is scoped to only 1 chapter. So, you don't get lost between learning new stuff and following the project at the same time. All these things are presented using mostly Microsoft technologies, of course haha. But the author also mentions alternatives and uses other well know technologies. I am actually excited to apply the things I learned in a personal project I was meant to start some time ago.
