Key FeaturesUniquely structured content to help you understand what goes on under the hood of .NETs managed code platform to master .NET programmingDeep dive into C# programming and how the code executes via the CLR Packed with hands-on practical examples, youll understand how to write applications to make full use of the new features of .NET 4.6, .NET Core and C# 6/7Book DescriptionMastering C# and .NET Framework will take you in to the depths of C# 6.0/7.0 and .NET 4.6, so you can understand how the platform works when it runs your code, and how you can use this knowledge to write efficient applications. Take full advantage of the new revolution in .NET development, including open source status and cross-platform capability, and get to grips with the architectural changes of CoreCLR.Start with how the CLR executes code, and discover the niche and advanced aspects of C# programming – from delegates and generics, through to asynchronous programming. Run through new forms of type declarations and assignments, source code callers, static using syntax, auto-property initializers, dictionary initializers, null conditional operators, and many others. Then unlock the true potential of the .NET platform. Learn how to write OWASP-compliant applications, how to properly implement design patterns in C#, and how to follow the general SOLID principles and its implementations in C# code.We finish by focusing on tips and tricks that youll need to get the most from C# and .NET.This book also covers .NET Core 1.1 concepts as per the latest RTM release in the last chapter.What you will learnUnderstand C# core concepts in depth, from sorting algorithms to the Big O notationGet up to speed with the latest changes in C# 6/7Interface SQL Server and NoSQL databases with .NETLearn SOLID principles and the most relevant GoF Patterns with practical examples in C# 6.0Defend C# applications against attacksUse Roslyn, a self-hosted framework to compile and advanced edition in both C# and Visual basic .NET languagesDiscern LINQ and associated Lambda expressions, generics, and delegatesDesign a .NET application from the ground upUnderstand the internals of a .NET assemblyGrasp some useful advanced features in optimization and parallelismAbout the AuthorMarino Posadas is an independent senior trainer, writer, and consultant in Microsoft Technologies and Web Standards.
