C# 14 and .NET 10 Application Development

C# 14 and .NET 10 Application Development: Turn Core Programming Skills into Real Software Projects for Web, API, Database, Desktop, and Cloud WorkflowsWriting C# code is one thing. Turning that code into real software that runs across APIs, databases, web interfaces, desktop apps, cloud services, and production pipelines is where many developers get stuck.C# 14 and .NET 10 Application Development is a practical, project-driven guide for developers who want to move beyond syntax and build complete, modern applications with confidence. Instead of treating C# features as isolated concepts, this book connects them directly to real-world workflows: Minimal APIs, Entity Framework Core, Blazor, .NET MAUI, .NET Aspire, enterprise identity, performance optimization, Native AOT, containers, CI/CD, and cloud deployment.Inside, you'll build the kind of software professional teams are expected to deliver: secure APIs, reusable libraries, intelligent database systems, interactive dashboards, cross-platform desktop tools, resilient microservices, and production-ready deployment workflows. The manuscript's own preface emphasizes this same practical direction, focusing on complete application workflows rather than disconnected language features.You will learn how to: - Set up a modern .NET 10 development environment- Apply C# 14 patterns to cleaner, safer application code- Build high-performance Web APIs with Minimal APIs- Work with EF Core, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and intelligent search- Create Blazor dashboards and .NET MAUI desktop apps- Secure applications with identity, roles, secrets, and authorization- Optimize performance with Native AOT, profiling, and deployment tuning- Package and launch applications through containers and cloud workflowsWhether you are upgrading your C# skills, preparing for professional .NET development, or building portfolio-ready projects, this book gives you a clear path from core programming knowledge to complete application delivery.
