Every aspiring software architect considering .NET needs this book
Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2021
Format: Paperback

As software architects there are many aspects to an enterprise, distributed system to consider – not just the code. This book gives you a great introduction to the next step along your software development journey, including the proper principles, processes, techniques and technology needed to architect a modern cloud-based, distributed system. While the concepts are generally applicable, this book gives practical examples in context of the .NET and Azure ecosystem.

After reading this book will you be an expert .NET software architect? No. That will take time to achieve. In fact each chapter could be, and usually is, a book by itself. However, what I like about this book is it summarizes in a single coherent place a great overview of the topics that are scattered across various sources.

When you finish the book you will have the broad spectrum of knowledge required to be a software architect. Think of the book as a map, guiding you along this journey … and Gabriel and Francesco are experienced guides, not only telling you where to go but why, which is just as if not more important.

To help they created a case study project, World Wide Travel Club, that is used throughout the book to concretely demonstrate topics. Also there are questions at the end of each chapter to help test your knowledge and lots of references for further reading.

I’m not sure the Azure Service Fabric chapter was needed. Service Fabric is a great service orchestrator and was the original Azure service orchestrator. But Kubernetes has won the service orchestrator war and is now the defacto standard now for orchestrating distributed services, especially given its open source, cross-platform support the importance of this chapter is diminished. Even Microsoft is starting to move some of their services from Service Fabric to Kubernetes. Microsoft Teams is one example. I would have used the space to expand on a few more topics.

From analysis, design, agile/scrum, cloud and microservice architectures, serverless, Kubernetes, data access, distributed storage, design patterns, domain-driven design, code reuse, REST APIs, Blazor WebAssembly, testing, dev ops, you can’t go wrong with this book.

Highly recommended! I’m going to recommend it to the dev teams I work with.

A great complimentary book is Mark J. Price’s book C# 9 and .NET 5 – Modern Cross-Platform Development.

Comprehensive and concise - Gives you what you need to start, and the basics to build upon.
Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2021
Format: Kindle
The amount of content presented in this holistic view of the necessary steps to provide full modern cloud solutions using the bleeding edge Microsoft tools and services is astounding.

The book organization is very good as a template to follow up and build, bit by bit, a working living example of the contents.

From the initial chapters covering the design process, the early documentation, environment setup and team management basics, to the different server features and how to put them together to the consumption of those services using the framework tools, all the content seems to flow naturally towards designing and implementing a full .NET Azure hosted solution.

Technical content is well illustrated (and up to date as of the writing of this review) and covers the essentials and the pitfalls of whichever area is being illustrated. Queues, databases, kubernetes administration, containers, service design, operation and publishing are all dealt with with plenty of great examples.

The text concentrates naturally on Azure services, so while there are mentions of other technologies, they are a bit brief. To be honest this can be considered both in favor and against the book, but I rather have something concise and clear than greedy when it comes to content.

The structure of the book covers each theme fully during a chapter, concluding with a good set of questions, common commentary and pitfalls and a well curated list of extra material.

Overall, this is a very good and to the point structure to complete a project. I followed the steps using my Azure account and was able to delve into the contents as I was going through the chapters.

If you are using or planning on using Azure as your platform for your solution, this will get you there without unnecessary fluff, while covering pretty much all areas needed that such project architecture would require.

Good overview of Architecting and Building applications with Microsoft Azure and .NET
Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2021
Format: Paperback
The book's title should be Software Architecture with Azure, C# 9, and .NET since the book focuses on the Microsoft stack and development tools.

The book starts with getting an understanding of what software architecture is.
- Including software development processes
- The role of software architects
- Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs).

After introducing architecture, the author gets into designing and building software using Microsoft tools and services. Including how you can use Azure DevOps to document requirements, figuring out which Azure services to use to host and develop your application.

From there, you build an application from scratch, introducing architecture, design concepts, and other things to consider along the way. Finally, the last few chapters cover unit testing and functional testing and building a CI/CD pipeline.

At the end of the book, you would have been exposed to ways to build highly scalable applications using Microsoft development tools and Microsoft Azure.

Overall, the other covers a lot of topics but just scratches the surface with some of them.

On a side note, I like the Questions and Further Readings section that this book has. It's an excellent way to test if you picked up what the author wrote in the chapter. So, add that with the Further Readings section to help the author drive home the point and provide the reader with additional reference materials.

Not impressed, a lot of screenshots, too little concepts
Reviewed in Germany on March 29, 2021
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
I expected more from this book because the content seems interesting. I stil haven't read the whole book, but I'm not impressed so far. For example Azure Functions part is full of screenshots how to create an azure function but the actual concepts are not even mentioned. I learned nothing from that part. Literally 20 pages of almost all screenshots, I finished reading it in 5 minutes! And the rest of the book is not much better. Waste of money for me. If I hadn't started writing down stuff on the side I would have returned it.

Too shallow
Reviewed in Italy on June 9, 2021
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
This book has very high aspirations but falls short in the execution.
It includes many important topics, but it does so in too shallow a way and fails to be really helpful.

For instance:
- it wants to discuss Service Fabric, but does not discuss actors, which are fundamental to that programming model as well as reliable services;
- it cites scalable architectures, but does not give examples; it links Microsoft's architecture documentation rather than devoting a chapter to the topic (come on, this is a book about _software architectures!_ you can't screw this!)
- presents design patterns for c#, but only shows half of the code. The builder pattern does not show the code for the builder class or the build() method, to name one.
I hope the next version has those 200 more pages that make it really helpful in understanding and putting to practice its content.
