Smith S. Architecting Modern Web Applications.ASP.NET.Azure 2021

Textbook in PDF format

This guide provides end-to-end guidance on building monolithic web applications using ASP.NET Core and Azure. In this context, "monolithic" refers to the fact that these applications are deployed as a single unit, not as a collection of interacting services and applications.
The audience for this guide is mainly developers, development leads, and architects who are interested in building modern web applications using Microsoft technologies and services in the cloud.
A secondary audience is technical decision makers who are already familiar ASP.NET or Azure and are looking for information on whether it makes sense to upgrade to ASP.NET Core for new or existing projects.
Version:
This guide has been revised to cover .NET 5.0 version along with many additional updates related to the same “wave” of technologies (that is, Azure and additional third-party technologies) coinciding in time with the .NET 5.0 release
