Book Review: Architecting Modern Web Applications with ASP.NET Core and Azure

Recently I read in The week in .Net about some new e-books published by Microsoft about web, cloud and container development and one of these books was Architecting Modern Web Applications with ASP.NET Core and Azure.

After I have read it I can say it is a rather small book which gives you a good but very basic overview about ASP.Net Core MVC development.

It “touches” the following topics:

• Traditional Web applications vs. Single Page Applications
• Architectural and design principles, e.g.:
  • separation of concerns
  • dependency inversion
  • persistence ignorance
• Common web architecture styles, like:
  • layers
  • clean architecture
• Client side web technologies (e.g. Angular)
• How to setup your first ASP.NET Core MVC application
  • Structure the code
  • Design cross cutting concerns
  • Security
  • Caching
• How to use EF Core
• Testing Asp.net Core MVC applications
• Azure hosting

Definitively a good one if you are new to ASP.Net Core (MVC).
