    Epilogue
    I wanted this book to be different from the others on the market. I hope that you found it to be a brisk,
    fun read, packed with practical hands-on walk-throughs of each subject.

    This epilogue contains the following short sections:

    • The next steps on your C# and .NET learning journey


    • The eighth edition coming November 2023
    • Good luck!

    The next steps on your C# and .NET learning journey


    For subjects that you want to learn more about but I did not have space to include in this book, I hope
    that the notes, good practice tips, and links in the GitHub repository point you in the right direction:

    Polishing your skills with design guidelines


    Now that you have learned the fundamentals of developing using C# and .NET, you are ready to im-
    prove the quality of your code by learning more detailed design guidelines.

    Back in the early .NET Framework era, Microsoft published a book that gave good practices in all
    areas of .NET development. Those recommendations are still very much applicable to modern .NET
    development.

    The following topics are covered:

    • Naming Guidelines
    • Type Design Guidelines
    • Member Design Guidelines
    • Designing for Extensibility
    • Design Guidelines for Exceptions
    748 Epilogue

    • Usage Guidelines
    • Common Design Patterns

    To make the guidance as easy to follow as possible, the recommendations are simply labeled with the
    terms Do, Consider, Avoid, and Do not.

    Microsoft has made excerpts of the book available at the following link:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/design-guidelines/

    I strongly recommend that you review all the guidelines and apply them to your code.

    A companion book to continue your learning journey


    I have created a second book that continues your learning journey, so it acts as a companion to this book.

    The first book covers the fundamentals of C#, .NET, and ASP.NET Core for web development. The
    second book covers more specialized topics such as internationalization, protecting your data and
    apps, benchmarking and improving performance, and building services with OData, GraphQL, gRPC,
    SignalR, and Azure Functions. Finally, you will learn how to build graphical user interfaces for websites,
    desktop, and mobile apps with Blazor and .NET MAUI.

    A summary of the two books and their important topics is shown in Figure 17.1:

    Figure 17.1: A companion book for learning C# and .NET

    Other books to take your learning further


    If you are looking for other books from my publisher that cover related subjects, there are many to
    choose from.
    Chapter 17 749

    I recommend Harrison Ferrone’s Learning C# by Developing Games with Unity 2021 as a good comple-
    ment to my book for learning C#. It will likely have an updated edition after my book is published, so
    keep a watch out for that.

    And there are many books that take C# and .NET learning further, as shown in Figure 17.2:

    You will also find a list of Packt books in the GitHub repository at the following link:

    packt-books

    The eighth edition coming November 2023


    I have already started working on identifying areas for improvement for the eighth edition, which we
    plan to publish with the release of .NET 8 in November 2023. While I do not expect major new features
    at the level of Blazor, I do expect .NET 8 to make worthwhile improvements to all aspects of .NET.

    If you have suggestions for topics that you would like to see covered or expanded upon, or you spot
    mistakes that need fixing in the text or code, then please let me know the details via chat in the Discord
    channel or the GitHub repository for this book, found at the following link:

    Good luck!
    I wish you the best of luck with all your C# and .NET projects!
