You're a developer who knows nothing to Microservices. Which is fine, except that you need to start coding your next Microservices-based application using ASP.NET Core and Docker.

Don't worry: I have you covered. I've been training hundreds of developers like you during 16 years, and converted my experience into this book. I know from experience teaching what takes more time to learn in Microservices, and will spend time only where appropriate.

Plus this book is packed with exercises which build up into a full project: you develop two interdependent Microservices, each exposing a CRUD JSON API. You publish them in a Docker repository and run them in Docker.

Read this book, and you can code your Microservices within a week.

Implement design patterns in .NET using the latest versions of the C# and F# languages. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the field of design patterns as they are used in today’s developer toolbox.

Using the C# programming language, Design Patterns in .NET explores the classic design pattern implementation and discusses the applicability and relevance of specific language features for the purpose of implementing patterns. You will learn by example, reviewing scenarios where patterns are applicable. MVP and patterns expert Dmitri Nesteruk demonstrates possible implementations of patterns, discusses alternatives and pattern inter-relationships, and illustrates the way that a dedicated refactoring tool (ReSharper) can be used to implement design patterns with ease.

What You'll Learn
