The Little ASP.NET Core Book
If you're new to programming, this book will introduce you to thepatterns and concepts used to build modern web applications. You'lllearn how to build a web app (and how the big pieces fit together) by building something from scratch! While this little book won't be able tocover absolutely everything you need to know about programming, it'llgive you a starting point so you can learn more advanced topics. If you already code in a backend language like Node, Python, Ruby, Go,or Java, you'll notice a lot of familiar ideas like MVC, view templates, anddependency injection. The code will be in C#, but it won't look toodifferent from what you already know. If you're an ASP.NET MVC developer, you'll feel right at home! ASP.NETCore adds some new tools and reuses (and simplifies) the things youalready know. I'll point out some of the differences below. No matter what your previous experience with web programming, thisbook will teach you everything you need to create a simple and useful ...

bash Idioms
Shell scripts are everywhere, especially those written in bash-compatible syntax. But these scripts can be complex and obscure. Complexity is the enemy of security, but it's also the enemy of readability and understanding. With this practical book, you'll learn how to decipher old bash code and write new code that's as clear and readable as possible. Authors Carl Albing and JP Vossen show you how to use the power and flexibility of the shell to your advantage. You may know enough bash to get by, but this book will take your skills from manageable to magnificent. Whether you use Linux, Unix, Windows, or a Mac, you'll learn how to read and write scripts like an expert. Your future you will thank you. You'll explore the clear idioms to use and obscure ones to avoid, so that you can: Write useful, flexible, and readable bash code with style; Decode bash code such as ${MAKEMELC,,} and ${PATHNAME##*/}; Save time and ensure consistency when automating tasks; Discover how bash idioms can ...

Symfony
The Symfony Framework is well-known for being really flexible and is used to build micro-sites, enterprise applications that handle billions of connections and even as the basis for other frameworks. Since its release in July 2011, the community has learned a lot about what's possible and how to do things best. These community resources - like blog posts or presentations - have created an unofficial set of recommendations for developing Symfony applications. Unfortunately, a lot of these recommendations are unneeded for web applications. Much of the time, they unnecessarily overcomplicate things and don't follow the original pragmatic philosophy of Symfony. This guide aims to fix that by describing the best practices for developing web apps with the Symfony full-stack Framework. These are best practices that fit the philosophy of the framework as envisioned by its original creator Fabien Potencier. Any Symfony developer, whether you are an expert or a newcomer, can read this g ...
