Software architecture is the practice of implementing structures and systems that streamline the software development process and improve the quality of an app. This fully revised and expanded second edition, featuring the latest features of .NET 5 and C# 9, enables you to acquire the key skills, knowledge, and best practices required to become an effective software architect.

This second edition features additional explanation of the principles of Software architecture, including new chapters on Azure Service Fabric, Kubernetes, and Blazor. It also includes more discussion on security, microservices, and DevOps, including GitHub deployments for the software development cycle.

You will begin by understanding how to transform user requirements into architectural needs and exploring the differences between functional and non-functional requirements. Next, you will explore how to carefully choose a cloud solution for your infrastructure, along with the factors that will help you manage your app in a cloud-based environment.

Finally, you will discover software design patterns and various software approaches that will allow you to solve common problems faced during development.

By the end of this book, you will be able to build and deliver highly scalable enterprise-ready apps that meet your organization’s business requirements. Show less

Microsoft tools and environment are incredibly fantastic and so do the demos we have! It is time to talk about the real world, discussing how .NET, .NET Core, Visual Studio, VST, and Azure did make the difference in real cases. In this session, we will review some real-world use cases for these tools, the features that were implemented, and how they made a difference for our customers.

Software development process has been considered engineering for less than 50 years. During its evolution, many papers were presented proposing software development models that allow the adaptation of Software Engineering basis to the reality of the companies. It is also known that this industry has been suffering to attend cost, deadlines and/or functionalities. Besides, there are more companies requiring tight targets and the use of performance measurement systems becomes important to enable control, evaluation, prevention and understanding about processes, products and services. Focusing these two issues, this study was conducted, having as a goal the creation of a software development process model that integrates performance measurement systems concepts. As a result of this research, the GMQA Model, acronym from Brazilian Portuguese to Management, Measurement, Quality, and Documentation, is presented. This research details how the model was design and evolved based on a set of presentations to companies from the software industry. Show less

The Software Engineering can be considered a new area. During its recent history, many techniques applied for managing and producing software have been taken from Industrial Engineering. It is known that issues related to achieve the deadline, cost and functionalities are being discussed and are still a challenge for software development. This paper aims to propose a software development process model based on concepts of Industrial Engineering. Besides, the paper discusses some standards and… Show more

The Software Engineering can be considered a new area. During its recent history, many techniques applied for managing and producing software have been taken from Industrial Engineering. It is known that issues related to achieve the deadline, cost and functionalities are being discussed and are still a challenge for software development. This paper aims to propose a software development process model based on concepts of Industrial Engineering. Besides, the paper discusses some standards and models from Software Engineering that helped in the development of the model proposed. The result of this work is the model itself, together with some future works proposed to continue the research. Show less

The process of digital transformation consists on a set of emerging technologies as a way to generate new business opportunities and optimize existing ones. Therefore, digital transformation will modify the environment, affecting people's daily lives. This paper studies how organizations can work with their employees throughout the process of digital transformation, especially those that are distant from technology, but that will suffer impact with such situation.

The process of digital transformation consists on a set of emerging technologies as a way to generate new business opportunities and optimize existing ones. Therefore, digital transformation will modify the environment, affecting people's daily lives. This paper studies how organizations can work with their employees throughout the process of digital transformation, especially those that are distant from technology, but that will suffer impact with such situation. In order to do so, seven (7) factors were found in the researched literature to allow a successful implementation of digital transformation. These factors were presented in the form of a questionnaire, which ought to evaluate qualitatively those that are considered to be of prime importance for the success of the implantation. The resulting study showed that continuous innovation, empowerment of people and alignment with corporate strategy are the most remembered, and curiously, these are the ones in line with other scientific research raised by the study.
