Why Performance Is a Feature

This is an exciting time to be a C# developer. Microsoft is in the middle of one of the biggest changes in its history and it is embracing open source software. The ASP.NET and .NET Frameworks have been rebuilt from the ground up so they are componentized, cross platform, and fully open source. Many of the recent improvements have come from the community.

ASP.NET Core 2 and .NET Core 2 embrace other popular open source projects, including Linux. The ASP.NET Model View Controller (MVC) web application framework, which is part of ASP.NET Core, borrows heavily from Ruby on Rails, and Microsoft is keen on promoting tools, such as Node.js, Grunt, gulp, and Yeoman. Support for React, Redux, and Angular Single Page Apps (SPAs) is also inbuilt. You can write these in TypeScript, which is a statically typed version of JavaScript that is developed by Microsoft...

Key benefits

Master high-level web app performance improvement techniques using ASP.NET Core 2.0

Find the right balance between premature optimization and inefficient code

Design workflows that run asynchronously and are resilient to transient performance issues

Description

The ASP.NET Core 2 framework is used to develop high-performance and cross-platform web applications. It is built on .NET Core 2 and includes significantly more framework APIs than version 1. This book addresses high-level performance improvement techniques. It starts by showing you how to locate and measure problems and then shows you how to solve some of the most common ones. Next, it shows you how to get started with ASP.NET Core 2 on Windows, Mac, Linux, and with Docker containers. The book illustrates what problems can occur as latency increases when deploying to a cloud infrastructure. It also shows you how to optimize C# code and choose the best data structures for the job. It covers new features in C# 6 and 7, along with parallel programming and distributed architectures. By the end of this book, you will be fixing latency issues and optimizing performance problems, but you will also know how this affects the complexity and maintenance of your application. Finally, we will explore a few highly advanced techniques for further optimization.

Who is this book for?

This book is aimed for readers who can build a web application and have some experience with ASP.NET or some other web application framework (such as Ruby on Rails or Django). They can be people who are happy learning details independently but who struggle to discover the topics that they should be researching. The reader should be interested in improving the performance of their web app and in learning about ASP.NET Core and modern C#.

What you will learn

Understand ASP.NET Core 2 and how it differs from its predecessor

Address performance issues at the early stages of development

Set up development environments on Windows, Mac, and Linux

Measure, profile and find the most significant problems

Identify the differences between development workstations and production infrastructures, and how these can exacerbate problems

Boost the performance of your application but with an eye to how it affects complexity and maintenance

Explore a few cutting-edge techniques such as advanced hashing and custom transports

The quality of this book is excellent with a superb approach to explaining highly technical concepts in a language those from a range of backgrounds in web and software development can grasp. Much effort has been made to explain more complex terminology in concise summaries of their capabilities and uses in working with ASP.NET Core. James talks about many aspects of the development stack which are considered throughout from a performance perspective. This is all essential for understanding how to build robust, resilient systems today and for the future. I highly recommend this given its relevance to developing for multiple platforms and general approach applicable to good practice over different disciplines.

This book was a waste of my time and money.Any half decent developer, with just 1 or 2 years experience, should find this book very basic.The author spends less than half the book talking about something performance related. Instead, the page-count is increased by talking about:* What is new in C# 6 (3 pages)* What is new in C# 7 (4 pages)* How to install VS 2017 on Windows (3 pages)* How to install VS 2017 on Mac (4 pages)* Creating your first app using VS Windows (4 pages)* Creating your first app using VS Mac (4 pages)* Installing .NET Core on Linux and creating your first app (6 pages)* Using ASP.NET Core in Docker (6 pages)* Multiple lengthy discussions about images, hashing, encryption and certificates, but mostly not related to performance* How to use ping, tracert and nslookup (8 pages)* How to build your own ping (4 pages)And so on...I would recommend having a look at "Pro .NET Performance: Optimize Your C# Applications" or "Writing High-Performance .NET Code" instead.

Cheap re-print.... Horrible print & paper quality. The figures/pictures aren't clear either. Not worth 899/- should be like a 250/- a copy.
