Code and Life
Hyping your product to get funding while concealing your true progress and hoping that reality will eventually catch up to the hype continues to be tolerated in the tech industry.
Don’t fool your client, don’t fool your team, and most importantly, don’t fool yourself.
If you think good architecture is expensive, try bad architecture.
Recently, I’ve been looking for learning resources on software architecture, especially for .NET, and I’ve found this very good series of completely free e-books from Microsoft about software architecture. They provide a nice overview of different architecture approaches, the latest technologies and trends, like containers, CI/CD processes, cloud, microservices, and serverless applications.
You can read all of them online or download in different formats to read on any device.
This guide is an introduction to the recommended end to end lifecycle processes you’ll use to develop, validate, and deploy containerized Docker applications using Visual Studio and Microsoft Azure.
This guide is an introduction to the strategies you’ll need to migrate existing web applications to the Azure cloud and Windows containers. You’ll learn about code strategies, data migration, orchestrators, and CI/CD processes.
This guide is an introduction to the recommended architecture, design, and deployment processes you’ll use to build ASP.NET and ASP.NET Core applications and host those applications in Azure.
This guide is an introduction to developing microservices-based applications and managing them using containers. It discusses architectural design and implementation approaches using .NET Core and Docker containers.
This is a guide for building serverless applications with examples using Azure. It discusses various architecture and design approaches, the benefits and challenges that come with serverless, and provides scenarios and use cases for serverless apps.
