Stop letting your database dictate your business logic. This hands-on guide shows .NET developers how to combine Clean Architecture, Onion principles, DDD and Command Query Separation into a four-layer structure — with a dedicated Facade contract that keeps your domain protected, your tests fast, and your infrastructure replaceable. Real C# code from entity to controller, no theory without practice.

Learn about Microsoft Desired State Configuration v3 open-source project on GitHub, as detailed in this comprehensive handbook, which spans the early alpha releases.

An illustrated book perfect for teaching your little ones the basics of the C# programming language!

Helping C# and .NET developers to learn how to do machine learning and become highly sought-after (and well-paid) AI engineers. No prior experience of ML required!

Build real ASP.NET Core 8 MVC apps—fast.This hands-on crash course gets you coding within minutes. No fluff, no long theory—just practical, bite-sized lessons that take you from zero to building real-world projects.You’ll create:A Restaurant List app with database integrationAn Online Notepad with full CRUD functionalityAn Ecommerce app with Stripe paymentsAlong the way, you’ll learn the essentials: models, controllers, database connections, search, user-specific data, and more.If you want a straight-to-the-point guide to ASP.NET Core MVC that respects your time—this book is for you.

Follow the evolution of .NET web development from its early foundations to today’s modern ecosystem in the 4th edition of this book.

Tic-Tac-Toe sounds simple, until you play it in 3D on a 5x5x5 board. Learn Blazor by building a complete 3D Tic-Tac-Toe game with .NET 10 and C# 14. Along the way, you’ll explore architecture, state management, persistence, AI, and interactive 3D UI through a project that’s both fun to build and rich with real-world lessons.

Go beyond basic CRUD. Bridge the gap between .NET abstractions and PostgreSQL internals to architect resilient, high-scale enterprise systems that handle 10k+ TPS.

Understanding “red–green–refactor” is easy; applying it effectively in real-world systems is not. This book bridges that gap by showing you how to practice Test Driven Development in the context of building robust, production-ready .NET Core microservices.

What if AI could become a disciplined coding partner instead of a chaotic autocomplete machine? In this hands-on journey, you’ll watch a full-stack .NET + React app take shape as test-first thinking, the C4 model, and the test pyramid systematically guide Copilot from vague suggestions to reliable collaboration. If you want to stay in control, sharpen your engineering instincts, and finally make AI-assisted development work for you - not against you - this book shows you how!

Dive Deep into the Peak of .NET Performance. To truly optimize, you must understand the hardware and the runtime. From benchmarking basics to low-level mastery—reshape the way you write C#.

Bridge the gap between high-level C# and raw hardware execution. Eliminate GC pauses with zero-allocation Span<T> and SIMD vectorization. Learn to build blazing-fast tokenizers and local LLM inference engines. Stop waiting for the runtime—start engineering for extreme AI performance.

Break free from expensive cloud APIs to build private, offline-capable AI systems. Harness ONNX Runtime and LlamaSharp to run LLMs and Vision models natively in C#. Master hardware acceleration and local RAG pipelines for lightning-fast, zero-latency performance. Stop paying per token—start engineering high-performance intelligence directly on the Edge.

Evolve from building static applications to architecting sophisticated cognitive systems. Master the Microsoft Semantic Kernel to bridge deterministic C# code with LLM reasoning. Build autonomous agents that plan, execute, and adapt using advanced enterprise patterns. Stop writing scripts and start engineering the future of intelligent .NET software.

Stop scripting and start engineering the next generation of cloud-native AI. Master C# and Kubernetes to build resilient, distributed agent swarms at scale. Bridge the gap between experimental logic and high-performance, production-grade systems. Architect the future of intelligence—from event-driven scaling to secure service meshes.
