I started working on .NET back before the first betas and have spent a good portion of my career building just about every type of .NET application - from windows phone to ASP.NET and WPF. I've written over a dozen books on .NET covering everything from language fundamentals to websites to e-Commerce. I've also spent the last several years working with open source tools and languages to building microservices and cloud-native architectures in Java, Scala, and Go. I've just finished a book on cloud-native microservices in Go and am now working on one for ASP.NET Core.
