Just the Docker you need to know in 22 bite-sized lessons!

In Learn Docker in a Month of Lunches, Docker expert Elton Stoneman guides through everything you need to know about Docker in 22 short lessons you can complete on your lunch break. This freshly-revised bestseller has been updated for modern tools and the latest versions of Linux, Windows, or Mac, with new coverage of multi-platform builds, cloud container services, replatforming legacy Windows apps, and Kubernetes.

In Learn Docker in a Month of Lunches, Second Edition you’ll learn how to:

• Run applications in Docker containers on Linux and Windows.
• Package applications as Docker images and share them on registries.
• Model and run distributed applications with Docker Compose and Kubernetes.
• Add instrumentation to containerized applications.
• Build and deploy apps with Docker in a CI/CD process.

Docker revolutionized the way engineers build software. By bundling an application together with all its dependencies in a portable “container” that can be deployed almost anywhere, Docker makes it possible to manage applications without creating custom infrastructures. Free, open source, and battle-tested, Docker has quickly become must-know technology for developers and administrators.

About the technology

Docker is a set of powerful tools to bundle software components in safe, portable “containers” you can drop wherever they’re needed. Whether you’re deploying a pre-built application, creating a secure test environment, or packaging microservices, you’re probably going to use Docker. This book gets you up to speed with the Docker skills you need — without the history, theory, and other “blah blah” you don’t.

About the book

Learn Docker in a Month of Lunches, Second Edition teaches you the most important Docker techniques in just 22 short hands-on lessons. Each chapter guides you through an essential concept, complete with a self-contained lab to practice your new skill. You’ll explore building Docker apps, adding observability, running databases in containers, safely migrating legacy systems, and more. There’s even a primer on using Kubernetes to manage your containers!

What’s inside

• 22 short lessons and labs you can complete in an hour or less.
• Cloud migration, microservices, and handling legacy systems.
• All examples work on Linux, Windows, and macOS.

Популярность Python продолжает расти, а значит, проекты, созданные на этом языке программирования, становятся все масштабнее и сложнее. Многие разработчики проявляют интерес к высокоуровневым паттернам проектирования, таким как чистая и событийно-управляемая архитектура и паттерны предметно-ориентированного проектирования (DDD). Но их адаптация под Python не всегда очевидна.

Гарри Персиваль и Боб Грегори познакомят вас с проверенными паттернами, чтобы каждый питонист мог управлять сложностью приложений и получать максимальную отдачу от тестов. Теория подкреплена примерами на чистом Python, лишенном синтаксической избыточности Java и C#.

В этой книге:
• «Инверсия зависимостей» и ее связи с портами и адаптерами (гексагональная/чистая архитектура).
• Различия между паттернами «Сущность», «Объект-значение» и «Агрегат» в рамках DDD.
• Паттерны «Репозиторий» и UoW, обеспечивающие постоянство хранения данных.
• Паттерны «Событие», «Команда» и «Шина сообщений».
• Разделение ответственности на команды и запросы (CQRS).
• Событийно-управляемая архитектура и реактивные расширения.

Use the step-by-step approach of this book to learn and implement design patterns in real-world applications. It focuses on classical design patterns with Java 17 and Eclipse (2021-09). In addition to Gang of Four (GoF) design patterns, the book covers popular and alternative design patterns and includes criticisms of design patterns in a chapter on anti-patterns.

The book is divided into four parts. Part one covers the SOLID design principles and the Simple Factory pattern. Part two covers the 23 (GoF) design patterns, including the creational patterns, structural patterns, and behavioral patterns. Part three covers alternative design patterns, including the Null Object pattern, and the model-view-controller (MVC) pattern. Part four covers criticisms of design patterns with a quick overview of anti-patterns. It also includes a chapter on FAQs on design patterns.

The book also includes a chapter on FAQs on design patterns. Each pattern is explained with real-world examples and the pros and cons of each of the design patterns are discussed. The book concludes with FAQs that can help you prepare for a job interview.

What you will learn

• Know the SOLID design principles in depth.
• Implement the 23 design patterns from the GoF.
• Apply the Null Object pattern, Simple Factory pattern, and the MVC pattern.
• Know the criticism of design patterns.
• Understand the anti-patterns.
• Verify your understanding through Q&A sessions.
• Select an alternative to these patterns by comparing their pros and cons.

Who this book is for

Software developers, architects, and programmers.

Implement design patterns in .NET using the latest versions of the C# and F# languages. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the field of design patterns as they are used in today’s developer toolbox.

Using the C# programming language, Design Patterns in .NET explores the classic design pattern implementation and discusses the applicability and relevance of specific language features for the purpose of implementing patterns. You will learn by example, reviewing scenarios where patterns are applicable. MVP and patterns expert Dmitri Nesteruk demonstrates possible implementations of patterns, discusses alternatives and pattern inter-relationships, and illustrates the way that a dedicated refactoring tool (ReSharper) can be used to implement design patterns with ease.

What you'll learn:

- Know the latest pattern implementations available in C# and F#.
- Refer to researched and proven variations of patterns.
- Study complete, self-contained examples including many that cover advanced scenarios.
- Use the latest implementations of C# and Visual Studio/ReSharper.

The new, modern .NET system is almost ready; all the low-level work has been done. It's not particularly difficult, as the architecture, the solutions, approaches, and even much of the code for both systems are about 90% the same between systems. The biggest differences are in the UI logic.

I'm building the new system according to all the canons, following all the best practices, and in this context, I'm improving on the previous one.

So I decided to fix it.

🔥 If you’ve ever seen an error like this, you know the pain:
---

❌ This happens when IIS locks your app’s binaries during development — preventing rebuilds and forcing you to stop the site, recycle application pool, or even restart IIS.

After a lot of research and experimentation, I built a small, practical solution that lets you build, refresh, and instantly see your code changes — directly on local IIS.

No publish step. No restarts. Just code → build → refresh browser.

💡 This boilerplate project shows how to:
✔ Configure IIS and ASP.NET Core project to work directly from your project folder.
✔ Avoid the common “file locked by IIS Worker Process” issue.
✔ Use app_offline.htm during builds to ensure smooth updates.
✔ Get an instant feedback loop while developing on real IIS.

It’s based entirely on standard tools — no hacks, no extra scripts, and mirrors production hosting behavior.

🔹 Full guide and source code available here:
👉 GitHub: https://github.com/sergdrozdov/AspNetCore-IIS-LocalDev

💎 Ideal for backend developers who work with real IIS environments and want faster local iteration.

Now, I’m genuinely excited to start new projects and experiments — knowing I won’t have to fight unnecessary technical barriers anymore.

It feels great to just enjoy programming again.

Happy coding!
