Complete Microsoft Orleans .NET: From Zero to Hero

About Complete Microsoft Orleans .NET: From Zero to Hero

Are you a student or professional in the field of software engineering using .NET and are you ready to disrupt old way of backend development? Time to use Orleans .Net! Orleans is an open source programming framework for .NET, originally built by the eXtreme Computing Group at Microsoft Research that simplifies distributed app development using virtual actors. These are single-threaded objects with their own state, that don’t share any memory and communicate by exchanging messages using asynchronous remote procedure calls, that are activated on demand, garbage collected when they’re no longer in use and reactivated seamlessly as required. Because the runtime takes care of activation, cleanup and distributing virtual actors (which Orleans calls grains) across servers, developers can write their code as if it was going to run on a single machine without worrying about concurrency and scale it out to as many servers as necessary. Amazed? Take this course and disrupt the old way of development!
