.NET 10 & C# 14: from Modern Fundamentals to Production-Ready Applications

C# 14 and .NET 10 provide a modern foundation for building reliable applications, web APIs, cloud-ready services, and production software. This book brings the C# language and the broader .NET ecosystem together, covering modern programming practices, application development, data access, security, testing, performance, and deployment.Written as a practical guide rather than a collection of disconnected features, this book takes you from core C# concepts to real-world .NET application development. It focuses on understanding how the language, runtime, libraries, frameworks, and development tools work together..NET 10 & C# 14: From Modern C# Fundamentals to Production-Ready Applications is designed for developers who want to learn modern C# and use it effectively across the .NET platform.What's InsideYou'll explore: - C# fundamentals, data types, methods, collections, and control flow- Object-oriented programming, generics, delegates, lambdas, records, and pattern matching- Modern C# 14 features and expressive language techniques- The .NET 10 runtime, SDK, project system, libraries, and NuGet- LINQ, async/await, concurrency, and responsive application development- Entity Framework Core models, relationships, queries, migrations, and efficient data access- ASP.NET Core, Minimal APIs, controllers, validation, middleware, and REST API design- Authentication, authorization, API security, testing, debugging, and maintainable code- Application architecture, configuration, secrets, performance, observability, and reliability- Docker containers, CI/CD, Git, GitHub, deployment, and production workflows- A complete modern .NET application that brings the concepts togetherAbout the ReaderWhether you are learning C# for the first time, moving from older .NET technologies, or strengthening your professional backend development skills, this book provides a structured path from fundamentals to production-oriented application development.You don't need to master the entire .NET ecosystem before building useful software. Learn the fundamentals, apply them to practical development scenarios, and progressively expand your skills as your applications become more capable.Ready to move beyond C# syntax and start building modern .NET applications?
