Use this collection of best practices and tips for assessing the health of a solution. This book provides detailed techniques and instructions to quickly diagnose aspects of your Azure cloud solutions.The initial chapters of this book introduce you to the many facets of Microsoft Azure, explain why and how building for the cloud differs from on-premise development, and outline the need for a comprehensive strategy to debugging and profiling in Azure. You learn the major types of blades (FaaS, SaaS, PaaS, IaaS), how different views can be created for different scenarios, and you will become familiar with the Favorites section, Cost Management & Billing blade, support, and Cloud Shell. You also will know how to leverage Application Insights for application performance management, in order to achieve a seamless cloud development experience. Application Insights, Log Analytics, and database storage topics are covered. The authors further guide you on identity security with Azure AD and continuous delivery with CI and CD covered in detail along with the capabilities of Azure DevOps. And you are exposed to external tooling and trouble shooting in a production environment. After reading this book, you will be able to apply methods to key Azure services, including App Service (Web Apps, Function Apps, and Logic Apps), Cloud Services, Azure Container Service,  Azure Active Directory, Azure Storage, Azure SQL Database, Cosmos DB, Log Analytics, and many more.What You Will LearnDebug and manage the performance of your applications Leverage Application Insights for application performance managementExtend and automate CI/CD with the help of various build tools, including Azure DevOps,  TeamCity, and Cake bootstrapperWho This Book Is ForApplication developers, designers, and DevOps personnel who want to find a one-stop shop in best practices for managing their application’s performance in the cloud and for debugging the issues accordingly

Use this hands-on guide book to learn and explore cognitive APIs developed by Microsoft and provided with the Azure platform. This book gets you started working with Azure Cognitive Services. You will not only become familiar with Cognitive Services APIs for applications, but you will also be exposed to methods to make your applications intelligent for deployment in businesses.The book starts with the basic concepts of Azure Cognitive Services and takes you through its features and capabilities. You then learn how to work inside the Azure Marketplace for Bot Services, Cognitive Services, and Machine Learning. You will be shown how to build an application to analyze images and videos, and you will gain insight on natural language processing (NLP). Speech Services and Decision Services are discussed along with a preview of Anomaly Detector. You will go through Bing Search APIs and learn how to deploy and host services by using containers. And you will learn how to use Azure Machine Learning and create bots for COVID-19 safety, using Azure Bot Service.After reading this book, you will be able to work with datasets that enable applications to process various data in the form of images, videos, and text.What You Will Learn Discover the options for training and operationalizing deep learning models on AzureBe familiar with advanced concepts in Azure ML and the Cortana Intelligence Suite architectureUnderstand software development kits (SKDs)Deploy an application to Azure Kubernetes Service Who This Book Is ForDevelopers working on a range of platforms, from .NET and Windows to mobile devices, as well as data scientists who want to explore and learn more about deep learning and implement it using the Microsoft AI platform

Apply design patterns to solve problems in software architecture and programming using C# 7.x and .NET Core 2Key FeaturesEnhance your programming skills by implementing efficient design patterns for C# and .NETExplore design patterns for functional and reactive programming to build robust and scalable applicationsDiscover how to work effectively with microservice and serverless architecturesBook DescriptionDesign patterns are essentially reusable solutions to common programming problems. When used correctly, they meet crucial software requirements with ease and reduce costs. This book will uncover effective ways to use design patterns and demonstrate their implementation with executable code specific to both C# and .NET Core.Hands-On Design Patterns with C# and .NET Core begins with an overview of object-oriented programming (OOP) and SOLID principles. It provides an in-depth explanation of the Gang of Four (GoF) design patterns, including creational, structural, and behavioral. The book then takes you through functional, reactive, and concurrent patterns, helping you write better code with streams, threads, and coroutines. Toward the end of the book, you’ll learn about the latest trends in architecture, exploring design patterns for microservices, serverless, and cloud native applications. You’ll even understand the considerations that need to be taken into account when choosing between different architectures such as microservices and MVC.By the end of the book, you will be able to write efficient and clear code and be comfortable working on scalable and maintainable projects of any size.What you will learnMake your code more flexible by applying SOLID principlesFollow the test-driven development (TDD) approach in your .NET Core projectsGet to grips with efficient database migration, data persistence, and testing techniquesConvert a console application to a web application using the right MVPWrite asynchronous, multithreaded, and parallel codeImplement MVVM and work with RxJS and AngularJS to deal with changes in databasesExplore the features of microservices, serverless programming, and cloud computingWho this book is forIf you have a basic understanding of C# and the .NET Core framework, this book will help you write code that is easy to reuse and maintain with the help of proven design patterns that you can implement in your code.
