Awesome Microservices .NET Core
A curated collection of training series, articles, videos, books, courses, sample projects, and tools for building microservices with .NET.
What is Awesome Microservices .NET Core?
Awesome Microservices .NET is a curated list of resources for developers building microservices with .NET technologies. It serves as a centralized directory for learning materials, sample projects, and tools, addressing the challenge of finding quality, up-to-date information on distributed systems in the .NET ecosystem.
.NET developers and architects who are designing, implementing, or learning about microservices architecture and need structured guidance and practical examples.
It saves significant research time by aggregating the best community-vetted resources in one place, from foundational tutorials to advanced production tools, all specifically tailored for the .NET stack.

Pros & Cons
Pros
The README organizes multiple training series like 'Building Microservices On .NET Core' and '.NET Conf: Focus on Microservices', providing a structured, step-by-step approach to complex topics.
Includes free eBooks, video courses, tutorials, and sample projects, catering to different learning styles and allowing developers to choose their preferred method.
Links to real-world GitHub repositories such as eShopOnContainers and DNC-DShop, offering tangible examples and implementation patterns for hands-on learning.
Encourages pull requests to keep the list current, as seen in the 'PRs Welcome' badge, fostering a living resource that evolves with the .NET ecosystem.
Cons
Some training series, like 'Building Microservices On .NET Core' from 2019, may not reflect the latest .NET versions or modern best practices, risking obsolete guidance.
As a community-curated list, the linked resources have inconsistent quality and depth, with no vetting beyond contributor submissions, which can lead to unreliable information.
Lacks interactive elements, quizzes, or structured assignments, requiring high self-motivation to apply knowledge, unlike formal courses or platforms with guided practice.
