Nest.js: A Progressive Node.js Framework. Hit the ground running with Nest.js
Greg Magolan, Patrick Housley, Adrien de Peretti,...
Nest.js is a modern web framework built on a Node.js Express server. With the knowledge of how to use this framework, you can give your applications an organized codebase and a well-defined structure.The book begins by showing how to use Nest.js controllers, providers, modules, bootstrapping, and middleware in your applications. You’ll learn to use the authentication feature of Node.js to manage the restriction access in your application, and how to leverage the Dependency Injection pattern to speed up your application development. As you advance through the book, you'll also see how Nest.js uses TypeORM—an Object Relational Mapping (ORM) that works with several relational databases. You’ll use Nest.js microservices to extract part of your application’s business logic and execute it within a separate Nest.js context. Toward the end of the book, you’ll learn to write tests (both unit tests as well as end-to-end ones) and how to check the percentage of the code your tests cover.By the end of this book, you’ll have all the knowledge you need to build your own Nest.js applications.

Generics were added as part of .NET Framework 2.0 in November 2005. Although similar to generics in Java, .NET generics do not apply type erasure but every object has unique representation at run-time. There is no performance hit from runtime casts and boxing conversions, which are normally expensive..NET offers type-safe versions of every classical data structure and some hybrid ones.This book will show you everything you need to start writing type-safe applications using generic data structures available in Generics API. You will also see how you can use several collections for each task you perform. This book is full of practical examples, interesting applications, and comparisons between Generics and more traditional approaches. Finally, each container is bench marked on the basis of performance for a given task, so you know which one to use and when.This book first covers the fundamental concepts such as type safety, Generic Methods, and Generic Containers. As the book progresses, you will learn how to join several generic containers to achieve your goals and query them efficiently using Linq. There are short exercises in every chapter to boost your knowledge.The book also teaches you some best practices, and several patterns that are commonly available in generic code.Some important generic algorithm definitions are present in Power Collection (an API created by Wintellect Inc.) that are missing from .NET framework. This book shows you how to use such algorithms seamlessly with other generic containers.The book also discusses C5 collections. Java Programmers will find themselves at home with this API. This is the closest to JCF. Some very interesting problems are solved using generic containers from .NET framework, C5, and PowerCollection Algorithms ñ a clone of Google Set and Gender Genie for example!The author has also created a website (https://www.consulttoday.com/genguide) for the book where you can find many useful tools, code snippets, and, applications, which are not the part of code-download section

Knowing about design patterns enables developers to improve their code base, promoting code reuse and making their design more robust.This book focuses on the practical aspects of programming in .NET. You will learn about some of the relevant design patterns (and their application) that are most widely used. We start with classic object-oriented programming (OOP) techniques, evaluate parallel programming and concurrency models, enhance implementations by mixing OOP and functional programming, and finally to the reactive programming model where functional programming and OOP are used in synergy to write better code. Throughout this book, we’ll show you how to deal with architecture/design techniques, GoF patterns, relevant patterns from other catalogs, functional programming, and reactive programming techniques. After reading this book, you will be able to convincingly leverage these design patterns (factory pattern, builder pattern, prototype pattern, adapter pattern, facade pattern, decorator pattern, observer pattern and so on) for your programs. You will also be able to write fluid functional code in .NET that would leverage concurrency and parallelism!
