C# is undeniably one of the most versatile programming languages
available to engineers today. With this comprehensive guide, you'll
learn just how powerful the combination of C# and .NET can be. Author
Ian Griffiths guides you through C# 10.0 and .NET 6 fundamentals and
techniques for building cloud, web, and desktop applications.
Designed for experienced programmers, this book provides many code
examples to help you work with the nuts and bolts of C#, such as
generics, LINQ, and asynchronous programming features. You'll get up to
speed on .NET 6 and the latest C# 9.0 and 10.0 additions, including
records, enhanced pattern matching, and new features designed to remove
"ceremony" to improve productivity.
- Understand how .NET has changed in the most recent releases, and learn
what it means for application development
- Select the most appropriate C# language features for any task
- Learn when to use the new features and when to stick with older ones
- Examine the range of functionality available in .NET's class libraries
- Learn how you can apply these class libraries to practical programming
tasks
- Explore numerous small additions to .NET that improve expressiveness
"Unlike books that focus on Visual Studio and technologies that interact
with C#, this one covers the core language, and mastery of this core is
essential to successfully building good software. It covers important
concepts followed by generous code examples to explain them. It's
thorough, detailed, and gets at the nooks and crannies of the language
rarely covered elsewhere. It's a complete course on C#." --Jeremy Morgan
