They can be people who are happy learning details independently but who struggle to discover the topics that they should be researching. The reader should be interested in improving the performance of their web app and in learning about ASP.NET Core and modern C#.  What You Will Learn  • Understand ASP.NET Core 2 and how it differs from its predecessor • Address performance issues at the early stages of development • Set up development environments on Windows, Mac, and Linux • Measure, profile and find the most significant problems • Identify the differences between development workstations and production infrastructures, and how these can exacerbate problems • Boost the performance of your application but with an eye to how it affects complexity and maintenance • Explore a few cutting-edge techniques such as advanced hashing and custom transports  In Detail  The ASP.NET Core 2 framework is used to develop high-performance and cross-platform web applications. It is built on .NET Core 2 and includes significantly more framework APIs than version 1. This book addresses high-level performance improvement techniques. It starts by showing you how to locate and measure problems and then shows you how to solve some of the most common ones. Next, it shows you how to get started with ASP.NET Core 2 on Windows, Mac, Linux, and with Docker containers. The book illustrates what problems can occur as latency increases when deploying to a cloud infrastructure. It also shows you how to optimize C# code and choose the best data structures for the job. It covers new features in C# 6 and 7, along with parallel programming and distributed architectures. By the end of this book, you will be fixing latency issues and optimizing performance problems, but you will also know how this affects the complexity and maintenance of your application. Finally, we will explore a few highly advanced techniques for further optimization.  Style and approach  A step-by-step practical guide filled with real-world use cases and examples","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52531367674129,"sku":"NLS9781788399760","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53036952781073,"sku":"NIN9781788399760","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781788399760.jpg?v=1760656041"},{"product_id":"asp-net-core-1-0-high-performance-book-james-singleton-9781785881893","title":"ASP.NET Core 1.0 High Performance","description":"Create fast, scalable, and high performance applications with C#, ASP.NET Core 1.0, and MVC 6  Key Features  [*] Learn the importance of measuring, profiling, and locating the most impactful problems [*] Discover the common areas you might encounter performance problems and areas you don’t need to worry about [*] Understand the differences between development workstations and production infrastructure and how these can amplify problems [*] Design workflows that run asynchronously and are resilient to transient performance issues  Book DescriptionASP.NET Core is the new, open source, and cross-platform, web-application framework from Microsoft. It's a stripped down version of ASP.NET that's lightweight and fast. This book will show you how to make your web apps deliver high performance when using it. We'll address many performance improvement techniques from both a general web standpoint and from a C#, ASP.NET Core, and .NET Core perspective. This includes delving into the latest frameworks and demonstrating software design patterns that improve performance. We will highlight common performance pitfalls, which can often occur unnoticed on developer workstations, along with strategies to detect and resolve these issues early. By understanding and addressing challenges upfront, you can avoid nasty surprises when it comes to deployment time. We will introduce performance improvements along with the trade-offs that they entail. We will strike a balance between premature optimization and inefficient code by taking a scientific- and evidence-based approach. We'll remain pragmatic by focusing on the big problems. By reading this book, you'll learn what problems can occur when web applications are deployed at scale and know how to avoid or mitigate these issues. You'll gain experience of how to write high-performance applications without having to learn about issues the hard way. You'll see what's new in ASP.NET Core, why it's been rebuilt from the ground up, and what this means for performance. You will understand how you can now develop on and deploy to Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux using cross-platform tools, such as Visual Studio Code. What you will learn  [*] Why performance matters and when it should be considered [*] Use different tools to measure performance [*] Spot common performance issues, their root causes, and how to easily mitigate them [*] Improve performance at the network level and I\/O level, and how to optimize the application as a whole [*] Work with caching and message queuing tools, including patterns and strategies [*] Discover the dark side of performance improvement and find out how to manage complexity [*] Monitor performance as part of continuous integration and regression testing [*] Assess and solve performance issues with other advanced technologies  Who this book is forThis book is for ASP.NET and C# developers who have experience with the MVC framework for web application development and are looking to deploy applications that will perform well in live production environments. These could be virtual machines or hosted by a cloud service provider such as AWS or Azure.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52608733675793,"sku":"NLS9781785881893","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53110116024593,"sku":"NIN9781785881893","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781785881893.jpg?v=1761346417"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-james-singleton.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
