Getting Started: Caching in .NET

Let's make the hardest thing in programming easy for .NET software engineers.

Caching is fundamental in building fast, scalable and resilient applications. It's also famously one of the two hardest things in software engineering, the other one being naming things. It's everywhere from apps to services, from hardware to software, from file systems to databases and at the very foundation of the internet and the web.

In this course, Jody Donetti condensed over 20 years of real-world experience he gained while working on various cache types, including memory, distributed, hybrid, HTTP caching, offline caching, and CDNs. You'll explore the fundamentals of caching, both in general and on .NET, covering core concepts, mental models, techniques, best practices, common scenarios, recurring problems, and how to solve them with a focus on pragmatic solutions that can be immediately applied in the real world.

The course will cover different caches, both from Microsoft and the amazing .NET open-source community, including FusionCache, which Jody created and is used even by Microsoft themselves. Ultimately, this knowledge will make your applications faster, more scalable, and robust - in short, better.
