Another great .Net book from Mark Price, this time with a twist (in my view) because it involves CMS.
The book concentrates on building a modern content management website, a very common purpose.
It is going to be an easy and practical learning experience using the most modern approaches, in my opinion.
It even goes into performance optimization using more than one technique. Who need a slow website after all?
Many things are covered in the book, some seem though quite cursory, but it gives you a push to explore further.
My favourite topics are FastEndpoints, testing using dev tunnel CLI, Playwright, and OData integration.
Three great things to mention:
1. The chapter on prototyping with Bootstrap is very useful for early MVPs;
2. Advocacy for using the EF Core, and
3. The use of Razor
Two things I would like to say are odd or to improve:
1) Third party libraries, including Umbraco - they are not .net or even Microsoft own components, so this is not a strictly .Net book, besides I wish Umbraco was covered more in-depth,
2) The use of Docker for containerization, it is for more established companies, in my view, because of their for-profit licensing model changes.
Overall, it is a solid, practical book for a modern web developer.
