Get started with C# and strengthen your knowledge of core programming concepts such as procedural, object-oriented, generic, functional, and asynchronous programming along with the latest features of C# 8Key FeaturesLearn the fundamentals of C# with the help of easy-to-follow examples and explanationsLeverage the latest features of C# 8, including nullable reference types, pattern matching enhancements, and asynchronous streamsExplore object-oriented programming, functional programming, and multithreading conceptsBook DescriptionThe C# programming language is often developers’ primary choice for creating a wide range of applications for desktop, cloud, and mobile. In nearly two decades of its existence, C# has evolved from a general-purpose, object-oriented language to a multi-paradigm language with impressive features.This book will take you through C# from the ground up in a step-by-step manner. You'll start with the building blocks of C#, which include basic data types, variables, strings, arrays, operators, control statements, and loops. Once comfortable with the basics, you'll then progress to learning object-oriented programming concepts such as classes and structures, objects, interfaces, and abstraction. Generics, functional programming, dynamic, and asynchronous programming are covered in detail. This book also takes you through regular expressions, reflection, memory management, pattern matching, exceptions, and many other advanced topics. As you advance, you'll explore the .NET Core 3 framework and learn how to use the dotnet command-line interface (CLI), consume NuGet packages, develop for Linux, and migrate apps built with .NET Framework. Finally, you'll understand how to run unit tests with the Microsoft unit testing frameworks available in Visual Studio.By the end of this book, you’ll be well-versed with the essentials of the C# language and be ready to start creating apps with it.What you will learnGet to grips with all the new features of C# 8Discover how to use attributes and reflection to build extendable applicationsUtilize LINQ to uniformly query various sources of dataUse files and streams and serialize data to JSON and XMLWrite asynchronous code with the async-await patternEmploy .NET Core tools to create, compile, and publish your applicationsCreate unit tests with Visual Studio and the Microsoft unit testing frameworksWho this book is forIf you have little experience in coding or C# and want to learn the essentials of C# programming to develop powerful programming techniques, this book is for you. It will also help aspiring programmers to write scripts or programs to accomplish specific tasks.
