Architecting ASP.NET core applications : an atypical design patterns guide for .NET 8, C# 12, and beyond / Marcotte, Carl-Hugo

This unique ASP.NET Core book will fill in the gaps in your REST API and backend designs. Learn how to build robust, maintainable, and flexible apps using Gang of Four (GoF) design patterns and modern architectural principles. This new edition is updated for .NET 8 and focuses exclusively on the backend, with new content on REST APIs, the REPR pattern, and building modular monoliths. You'll start by covering foundational concepts like REST, the SOLID principles, Minimal APIs, dependency injection in .NET, and other ASP.NET Core 8 mechanisms. Then, you'll learn to develop components using design patterns, including many from the GoF. Finally, you'll explore organizing your application code with patterns that vary from layers to feature-oriented vertical slice designs, covering CQS and a deep dive into microservices along the way. A brand-new e-commerce project at the end of the book will tie it all together. This how-to guide will teach you how to assemble your own APIs from building blocks, to suit whatever real-world requirements you may have.

Head first JavaScript programming / Freeman, Eric
JavaScript programming
What will you learn from this book? Now in its second edition, this brain-friendly guide is your comprehensive journey into modern JavaScript, covering everything from the core language fundamentals to cutting-edge features that define JavaScript today. You'll dive into the nuances of JavaScript types and the unparalleled flexibility of its functions. You'll learn how to expertly navigate classes and objects, and you'll finally understand closures. But that's just the beginning--you'll also get hands-on with the browser's document object model (DOM), engaging with JavaScript in ways you've only imagined. You won't just be reading--you'll be playing games, solving puzzles, pondering mysteries, and interacting with JavaScript. And you'll write real code, lots of it, so you can start building your own web applications. What's so special about this book? If you've read a Head First book, you know what to expect: a visually rich format designed for the way your brain works. If you haven't, you're in for a treat. With this book, you'll learn JavaScript through a multisensory experience that engages your mind--rather than a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep.
