ASP.NET Basics for Experts
summary
Claims that getting fundamentals right makes apps more testable, maintainable and resilient and demonstrates it by building a waffle-order demo using .NET (6/7), global usings, Swagger and an Azure Function for ingredients. Shows dependency injection patterns, strongly-typed HTTP client, and HTTP client factory usage, then wires up Polly retry and circuit-breaker policies (retry with exponential backoff and a circuit breaker that opens after three failures). Extracts services and endpoints into extension methods to keep Program.cs small; live demo trips the circuit breaker and recovers.
