Framework Design Guidelines Conventions, Idioms, and Patterns for Reusable . NET Libraries

<b>Master Today's Best Practices for Building Reusable .NET Frameworks, Libraries, and Components</b><br> ".NET Core [contains] advances important to cloud application developers: performance, resource utilization, container support, and others. This third edition of <i>Framework Design Guidelines</i> adds guidelines related to changes that the .NET team adopted during transition from the world of client-server application to the world of the Cloud."<br> <i>-From the Foreword by Scott Guthrie</i> <i><b>Framework Design Guidelines</b></i> has long been the definitive guide to best practices for developing components and component libraries in Microsoft .NET. Now, this third edition has been fully revised to reflect game-changing API design innovations introduced by Microsoft through eight recent updates to C#, eleven updates to .NET Framework, and the emergence and evolution of .NET Core.<br> <br> Three leading .NET architects share the same guidance Microsoft teams are using to evolve .NET, so you can design well-performing components that feel like natural extensions to the platform. Building on the book's proven explanatory style, the authors and expert annotators offer insider guidance on new .NET and C# concepts, including major advances in asynchronous programming and lightweight memory access. Throughout, they clarify and refresh existing content, helping you take full advantage of best practices based on C# 8, .NET Framework 4.8, and .NET Core.<br> <ul> <li>Discover which practices should always, generally, rarely, or never be used-including practices that are no longer recommended</li> <li>Learn the general philosophy and fundamental principles of modern framework design</li> <li>Explore common framework design patterns with up-to-date C# examples</li> <li>Apply best practices for naming, types, extensibility, and exceptions</li> <li>Learn how to design libraries that scale in the cloud</li> <li>Master new async programming techniques utilizing Task and ValueTask</li> <li>Make the most of the Memory and Span types for lightweight memory access</li> </ul> This guide is an indispensable resource for everyone who builds reusable .NET-based frameworks, libraries, or components at any scale: large system frameworks, medium-size reusable layers of large distributed systems, extensions to system frameworks, or even small shared components.<br> <br> <i>Register your book for convenient access to downloads, updates, and/or corrections as they become available.
