ASP.NET Core - SOLID and Clean Architecture

Overview

Creating a modular, testable, and maintainable application in .NET Core requires a solid foundation. Setting up an application architecture requires foresight and much consideration, as early decisions will impact how easily the application is extended and maintained.

In the long run, though, applications need to be maintained and, in this case, extended. Between its design and the way the code was written, neither is possible, so the application needs to be redesigned and future-proofed.

Why SOLID Architecture?

When we talk about SOLID architecture, what we refer to isn’t a straightforward task. Decisions made early in the process can have a large impact later on, and maintainability and testability play an important role. Adopting these practices can also contribute to avoiding code smells, refactoring code, and facilitating more efficient agile development.

SOLID stands for:

• S - Single-Responsibility Principle

• O - Open-closed Principle

• L - Liskov Substitution Principle

• I - Interface Segregation Principle

• D - Dependency Inversion Principle

In this course, you explore foundational architectural principles which help with the creation of maintainable code. You will discover how to set up a real-world application architecture with ASP.NET Core. Then, you’ll learn how to plug in different, common blocks such as email and authentication and have a foundation to plug-in other third-party services as needed.

Everything in this course is .NET 6 / .NET 7 compatible.

When you finish this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge to create a testable and maintainable ASP.NET Core application to architect real-world enterprise .NET Core apps.

N.B. - The project in this course is based on the deliverables in Complete ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework Development. While it is not mandatory to do this course, much of the existing code will be reused from this course's content.

Build A Strong Foundation in .NET Clean Architecture:

• Learn Clean or Onion Architecture and Best Practices

• Learn Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS)

• Implement Mediatr Pattern

• Add Email Service using SendGrid

• Efficient Exception Handling and Routing

• Implementing Unit Testing

• Moq and Shouldy

• Global Error Handling with Custom Middleware and Exceptions

• Adding Validation Using Fluent Validation

• Build a .NET Core API and Blazor UI Application

• Implement JWT(JSON Web Token)  Authentication

Content and Overview

To take this course, you must have some knowledge of .NET Core development and C#.

This is a huge course. Over 10 hours of premium content, but smartly broken up to highlight related activities based on each module in the application being built. We will also look at troubleshooting and debugging errors as we go along; implementing best practices; writing efficient logic, and understanding why developers do things the way they do. Your knowledge will grow, step by step, throughout the course, and you will be challenged to be the best you can be.

We don't do things the perfect way the first time; that is different from the reality of writing code. We make mistakes and point them out and fix them around them. By doing this, we develop proficiency in using debugging tools and techniques. By the time you have finished the course, you will have moved around in Visual Studio and examined logic and syntax errors so much that it will be second nature for you when working in the .NET environment. This will put your newly learned skills into practical use and impress your boss and coworkers.

The course is complete with working files hosted on GitHub, including some files to make it easier for you to replicate the demonstrated code. You will be able to work alongside the author as you work through each lecture and will receive a verifiable certificate of completion upon finishing the course.
