Welcome to this ebook about logging. During the last 15 years, I have been building desktop and web applications in a range of different programming languages and application frameworks. Since Microsoft released ASP.NET MVC back in 2007, I have been working with Microsoft technologies exclusively. This book is a summary of what I have learned about logging during my career as a professional software developer.
Logging may be one of the most overloaded terms in modern software development. When thinking about logs and logging, you may be thinking about long text files spread across servers. After reading this book, I’ll show you a better solution. With the introduction of cloud solutions like elmah.io and semantics logging frameworks like Serilog, things have changed a lot during the last 5 years.
