Beginning ASP.NET in VB .NET guides you through Microsoft's technology for building dynamic websites. This book will enable you to build dynamic web pages on the fly, and it assumes only the most basic knowledge of Visual Basic .NET. The book provides exhaustive coverage of ASP.NET, guiding you from your first steps right up to the most advanced techniques, such as querying databases from within a web page and performance tuning your site. Within these pages, you'll find tips for “best practices” and comprehensive discussions of key database and XML principles you'll need to know in order to be effective with ASP.NET. The book also emphasizes the invaluable coding techniques of object orientation and code behind, which will start you off on the track to build real-world websites right from the beginning—rather than just faking it with simplified coding practices. By the time you've finished the book, you will have mastered the core techniques and have all the knowledge you need to begin work as a professional ASP.NET developer.

Use this book to learn the Distributed Application Runtime (Dapr), a new event-driven runtime from Microsoft designed to help developers build microservices applications, using a palette of languages and frameworks that run everywhere: on-premises, in any cloud, and even on the edge.One of the most popular architectural patterns for implementing large, complex, distributed solutions is the microservices architectural style. Because solutions are composed of services based on various languages, frameworks, and platforms, the more complex and compartmentalized an application becomes, the more considerations a developer has to keep in mind. Much of the time this proves to be difficult.Introducing Distributed Application Runtime (Dapr) is your guide to achieving more with less through patterns. Part I of the book is about understanding microservices and getting up and running with Dapr, either on your machine or in any Kubernetes cluster. From there you are guided through the concepts of Dapr, how it works, and what it can do for you. You will wrap up with various ways to debug Dapr applications using Visual Studio Code locally, inside a container or Kubernetes. In Part II you will jump into the reusable patterns and practices, the building blocks of Dapr. You will go from service invocation, publish and subscribe, state management, resource bindings, and the Actor model to secrets; each building block is covered in detail in its own dedicated chapter. You will learn what Dapr offers from a functional perspective and also how you can leverage the three pillars of observability (logs, metrics, and traces) in order to gain insight into your applications. In Part III you will explore advanced concepts, including using middleware pipelines, integrating Dapr into web frameworks such as ASP.NET Core, or the runtimes of Azure Logic Apps and Azure Functions.The book features a multi-versed set of examples that cover not only the plain API of Dapr, but also the .NET SDK. Hence, most of the examples are in .NET 5, with a small number in JavaScript to exemplify the use of multiple languages. Examples show you how to securely use Dapr to leverage a variety of services in Microsoft Azure, including Azure Kubernetes Service, Azure Storage, Azure Service Bus, Azure Event Grid, Azure Key Vault, Azure Monitor, and Azure Active Directory among others.What You Will LearnRecognize the challenges and boundaries of microservices architectureHost Dapr inside a Kubernetes cluster or as a standalone processLeverage and use Dapr's ready-to-use patterns and practicesUtilize its HTTP/gRPC APIsUse Dapr with ASP.NET Core and in .NET applications (with or without the SDK)Implement observability for Dapr applicationsSecure Dapr applicationsIntegrate Dapr with the runtime of Azure Logic Apps and Azure FunctionsRealize the full potential of Visual Studio Code by using the right extensions that will contribute to a better development experienceWho This Book Is ForDevelopers and architects who want to utilize a proven set of patterns to help easily implement microservices applications

Graduate to the next level of your software development career, learning the tools you need to successfully manage the complexity of modern software systems.Whether you are a developer at a small software company, or one of many developers at a large enterprise, your success directly correlates to the ability of your development team to rapidly respond to change. What makes this task challenging in today's world, is that the technical challenges we as developers strive to overcome are becoming increasingly more complex. We have to consider many more options when it comes to things like requirements, solution hosting, support, pace of change, and generally with less time and warning.A good developer knows that it is critical to manage every aspect of software development from soup to nuts, and understands that when details and decisions are left to chance, outcomes can be negatively impacted. Poor planning can result in increased errors, substandard quality, budget and schedule overruns, and result in the ultimate business failure, dissatisfied customers, and stakeholders.This book will help you put on the lenses of a software engineer. You will come away with an understanding of how to view the entire spectrum of the software development process, learn valuable concepts, and apply these principles through meaningful examples, case studies, and source code. What You Will LearnMove beyond being a programmer to being a professional software engineerSpend more time doing software development; minimize time spent dealing with ineffective or inadequate processesReduce errors in judgment and provide predictable outcomes, while still maintaining agility and responsiveness using Lean and Agile practicesKnow the steps you can take to ensure a shared understanding among stakeholdersDiscover tools to validate user experience early and often to minimize costly re-workDevelop software designs and architectures that enable long-term business agilityImplement patterns and processes that result in "e;falling into the pit of success"e; instead of into the "e;pit of failure"e;Adopt processes and patterns that will result in pervasive "e;institutionalized"e; qualityUnderstand the necessity of redefining the essential role of technical leadership to ensure team maturity and growth Who This Book Is ForSoftware developers and team leaders who have struggled to implement design and development best practices due to lack of team resources, in-depth knowledge, or experience, and want a book designed to provide the confidence and foundational skills needed to achieve success
