ANECDOTE

Author Background And Credentials

  • Alexandre has 17 years of software engineering experience across roles like engineering manager and architect.
  • He is a five-time Microsoft MVP and the author of four .NET books.
ADVICE

Accept Scope Limits Early

  • Decide early what to cut; you can't cover everything when writing about large topics like ASP.NET Core and front-end frameworks.
  • Accept that a book won't solve all problems and use other resources to fill gaps.
ADVICE

Prefer Depth Over Breadth For Frameworks

  • Focus on one JavaScript framework in future editions to go deeper rather than covering React, Angular, and Vue at surface level.
  • Tailor the front-end choice to readers' needs and reduce book size to allow deeper integration examples.
