Apps and Services with .NET 7 is for .NET 6 and .NET 7 developers who want to kick their C# and .NET understanding up a gear by learning the practical skills and knowledge they need to build real-world applications and services. It covers specialized libraries that will help you monitor and improve performance, secure your data and applications, and internationalize your code and apps.
With chapters that put a variety of technologies into practice, including Web API, OData, gRPC, GraphQL, SignalR, and Azure Functions, this book will give you a broader scope of knowledge than other books that often focus on only a handful of .NET technologies. It covers the latest developments, libraries, and technologies that will help keep you up to date.
You'll also leverage .NET MAUI to develop mobile apps for iOS and Android as well as desktop apps for Windows and macOS.
Review
"This book is impressive and definitely worth checking out. It covers some really practical, real-world tools, with a nice introduction to building cross-platform apps with .NET MAUI. A "one-stop-shop" approach that covers a lot of important things you need to know if you want to deploy services to Azure."
--Andrew Stellman, Author, and Senior C# Developer
"This amazing book filled a huge gap. I havent seen any other book that talks about so many essential technologies. The code snippets will give you the feel of working on a real system. This book is a power pack and a must-have resource for every developer and architect."
--Sarbjit Singh Hanjra, Microsoft Certified Professional, Technologist
