“I loved the focus on testing, performance, API design, and general architecture. I felt the exploration of middleware pipelines was particularly well done, but my favorite chapter by far was right at the end covering application performance measurement and improvement. I learned some new things and found Jonathan’s arguments on pattern matching in catch blocks persuasive.
I’ve had the privilege of knowing many new .NET developers over my career and I think, will gladly recommend it to those in my community.”
