The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

This book covers software architecture on the Microsoft stack. I was looking for an up-to-date book that included C# 9, .NET 5, & Azure. It begins with user requirements and finishes with CI/CD production software in Azure. The reader is placed in the software architect role. Enterprise architecture design concerns are addressed. Options available in .NET 5 and Azure are considered. There are rich resources at the end of each chapter. This book is a benchmark for current practice and gives insight into Azure development. I recommend this book.My highlights include:✔️ Design thinking constructed user stories from user & system requirements✔️ CI/CD scalable microservice-based architecture using Docker containers✔️ Microservices orchestration tools with Azure Service Fabric & Kubernetes✔️ SOLID principles, Design Patterns, and DDD in an ASP.NET Core MVC app✔️ Case study project uses a modern application development life cycle approach

As software architects there are many aspects to an enterprise, distributed system to consider – not just the code. This book gives you a great introduction to the next step along your software development journey, including the proper principles, processes, techniques and technology needed to architect a modern cloud-based, distributed system. While the concepts are generally applicable, this book gives practical examples in context of the .NET and Azure ecosystem.After reading this book will you be an expert .NET software architect? No. That will take time to achieve. In fact each chapter could be, and usually is, a book by itself. However, what I like about this book is it summarizes in a single coherent place a great overview of the topics that are scattered across various sources.When you finish the book you will have the broad spectrum of knowledge required to be a software architect. Think of the book as a map, guiding you along this journey … and Gabriel and Francesco are experienced guides, not only telling you where to go but why, which is just as if not more important.To help they created a case study project, World Wide Travel Club, that is used throughout the book to concretely demonstrate topics. Also there are questions at the end of each chapter to help test your knowledge and lots of references for further reading.I’m not sure the Azure Service Fabric chapter was needed. Service Fabric is a great service orchestrator and was the original Azure service orchestrator. But Kubernetes has won the service orchestrator war and is now the defacto standard now for orchestrating distributed services, especially given its open source, cross-platform support the importance of this chapter is diminished. Even Microsoft is starting to move some of their services from Service Fabric to Kubernetes. Microsoft Teams is one example. I would have used the space to expand on a few more topics.From analysis, design, agile/scrum, cloud and microservice architectures, serverless, Kubernetes, data access, distributed storage, design patterns, domain-driven design, code reuse, REST APIs, Blazor WebAssembly, testing, dev ops, you can’t go wrong with this book.Highly recommended! I’m going to recommend it to the dev teams I work with.A great complimentary book is Mark J. Price’s book C# 9 and .NET 5 – Modern Cross-Platform Development.

“Software Architecture with C#9 and .NET 5” is an excellent overall book for people writing enterprise software. Chapter 5 Applying a Microservice Architecture to Your Enterprise Application was especially pertinent for me. My project, which is not Enterprise as such, is a Mobile app that needs reliability and zero downtime. I had read enough to know I was going to need microservices. But how to get started architecting the overall design was giving me some problems. Where to start? I had thought of using Azure, and I would need to have every element be a Microsoft solution. Now I’ve changed my outlook some and now am behind using Container using a Web API solution on the backend to supply data and services for my Xamarin mobile application.I also found the section on REST service authorization right on point. I was hacking through many REST examples, just trying to see what is in an authorization header? I’ve been Playing around with Azure Functions, knowing how to set up the call to get the API-Key into the string. They also take pains to explain why in .NET 5, Microsoft abandoned WCF. Reading on, I got very interested in gRPC as a more efficient way to move data.The book is for beginning Software Architects. An excellent soup to nuts and lots and lots of further reading at the end of each chapter. Far too often, you get different seeming unrelated factoids of enterprise programming. This book takes all those pieces and gives you a context to get those pieces working together to make a robust bullet-proof system that gets the job done.

The new chapters on Kubernetes and Blazor alone are worth the price of the new edition. It was the first time I completed an introduction to Kubernetes. After months of attempts, I finally learned the basics of Kubernetes and felt confident I can go ahead with this technology: an easy to understand and well-organized treatment of the subject. Everything else I tried was full of complications and overwhelming details. Highly recommended also if you already bought the previous edition.

This is a great resource for anybody who wants to learn how to develop apps in the cloud using Microsoft Azure. Throughout the book you'll learn how to build a simple travel app on Azure by leveraging different approaches and services. I also really like that a large portion of the book is dedicated to foundational topics like distributed architectures and software development methodologies which are always important regardless of the particular technology used to build apps.Here are some highlights:✔️Understand different distributed architectures (SOA, microservices, serverless)✔️Learn about Azure services✔️Explore the most common software development methodologies (Agile, XP, Scrum)✔️Learn to design an app: functional and non-functional requirements✔️Experiment with different web app technologies (ASP.NET, Blazor)✔️Understand development best practices (design patterns, modularized code, TDD, DevOps/CICD)
