Pragmatic Test-Driven Development in C# and NET - Write loosely coupled documented and high-quality code with DDD using familiar tools and libraries

Adam Tibi

Synopsis

Test-driven development is a manifesto for incrementally adding features to a product but starting with the unit tests first. Today’s project templates come with unit tests by default and implementing them has become an expectation. It’s no surprise that TDD/unit tests feature in most job specifications and are important ingredients for most interviews and coding challenges. Adopting TDD will enforce good design practices and expedite your journey toward becoming a better coding architect.
This book goes beyond the theoretical debates and focuses on familiarizing you with TDD in a real-world setting by using popular frameworks such as ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework. The book starts with the foundational elements before showing you how to use Visual Studio 2022 to build an appointment booking web application. To mimic real-life, you’ll be using EF, SQL Server, and Cosmos, and utilize patterns including repository, service, and builder. This book will also familiarize you with domain-driven design (DDD) and other software best practices, including SOLID and FIRSTHAND.
By the end of this TDD book, you’ll have become confident enough to champion a TDD implementation. You’ll also be equipped with a business and technical case for rolling out TDD or unit testing to present to your management and colleagues.

Embryology - From Conception to...

Mike Crawford

The process of human conception is an extraordinary biological event that marks the beginning of life. It is a highly coordinated sequence of events that begins with the formation of gametes—sperm and egg—culminating in fertilization and the establishment of a genetically unique individual. This miraculous process is governed by intricate molecular mechanisms that ensure the successful transmission of genetic information from one generation to the next. 
Gametogenesis, the formation of sperm and egg cells, is the first essential step in conception. In males, this process, known as spermatogenesis, occurs in the testes and results in the production of millions of motile sperm cells. In females, oogenesis takes place within the ovaries, producing a limited number of mature eggs, typically one per menstrual cycle. Unlike sperm, which are continuously produced throughout a man’s life, a female is born with all the eggs she will ever have, and they gradually diminish in number over time. These gametes contain half the genetic material necessary for human life, ensuring that when they unite, the resulting zygote inherits a complete set of chromosomes.

Jesus Germs and the Great...

Faith Christie RN

Is it possible to be a Christian and a nurse at the same time? 
When I first started out in my calling as a nurse, I thought the answer to that question was an easy "yes," but then as I walked the long halls of the hospital, I started to have questions:Is it ever okay to pray for a patient?Why do I feel so awkward asking for a chaplain?When death is real, does heaven have a place in the hospital? 
I tried to find resources written by other Christian medical professionals to help me, but all I ever heard were statements on ethics and the legal repercussions of bringing "coercive" faith to the bedside. 
Then I faced death myself in an ICU bed and learned that a lot of my fears were irrelevant in the Presence of the living God. And with that realization, I began to learn how God could make me a Christian and a nurse at the same time. 
Facing death in an ICU bed is a high-risk education not everyone can afford, so I've collected the lessons learned during my journey in this book. These spiritual case studies can be used to help nurses bring their faith to work. 
Discussion Questions included for small group study or personal growth.
