Build and design simple to complex dDigital Ttwins solutions
Create end-to-end solutions with Azure Digital Twins
Integrate the Azure Digital Twins service with other Azure services to provide even richer solutions
Book Description
In today’s world, clients are using more and more IoT sensors to monitor their business processes and assets. Think about collecting information like pressure from an engine to the temperature and light switch being turned on or off in a room. The data collected can be used to create smart solutions for predicting future trends, creating simulations, and drawing insights using visualization. This makes it beneficial for organizations to make digital twins, which are digital replicas of the real environment, to support these smart solutions.
This book will help you understand the concept of a digital twin and how this can be implemented using an Azure service called Azure Digital Twins. Starting with the requirements and installation of the Azure Digital Twins service, the book will explain the definition language used for modeling digital twins. From there, you’ll go through each step of building digital twins using Azure Digital Twins and learn about the different SDKs and APIs and how to use them with several Azure services. Finally, you’ll understand how digital twins can be used in practice with the help of several real-world scenarios.

About
Design patterns are essentially reusable solutions to common programming problems. When used correctly, they meet crucial software requirements with ease and reduce costs. This book will uncover effective ways to use design patterns and demonstrate their implementation with executable code specific to both C# and .NET Core.
Hands-On Design Patterns with C# and .NET Core begins with an overview of object-oriented programming (OOP) and SOLID principles. It provides an in-depth explanation of the Gang of Four (GoF) design patterns, including creational, structural, and behavioral. The book then takes you through functional, reactive, and concurrent patterns, helping you write better code with streams, threads, and coroutines. Toward the end of the book, you’ll learn about the latest trends in architecture, exploring design patterns for microservices, serverless, and cloud native applications. You’ll even understand the considerations that need to be taken into account when choosing between different architectures such as microservices and MVC.
By the end of the book, you will be able to write efficient and clear code and be comfortable working on scalable and maintainable projects of any size.
