Key benefits

  • Learn the fundamentals of C# with the help of easy-to-follow examples and explanations
  • Leverage the latest features of C# 8, including nullable reference types, pattern matching enhancements, and asynchronous streams
  • Explore object-oriented programming, functional programming, and multithreading concepts

Description

The 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.

Who is this book for?

If 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.

What you will learn

  • Get to grips with all the new features of C# 8
  • Discover how to use attributes and reflection to build extendable applications
  • Utilize LINQ to uniformly query various sources of data
  • Use files and streams and serialize data to JSON and XML
  • Write asynchronous code with the async-await pattern
  • Employ .NET Core tools to create, compile, and publish your applications
  • Create unit tests with Visual Studio and the Microsoft unit testing frameworks

Honestly I despise Packt due to bad experiences in the past. But this book is an exception.I come from the Java world and was looking to get started on the .NET platform to build micro-services in C# for a project requirement. After trying a couple of books on the topic from O'Reilly and disappointed picked this one half-heatedly.This book blew the rest out of the water easily. Concepts that the other books struggle to explain or not explained well enough are dealt with in a lucid and clear manner. The authors communicate more with less words. The breadth and depth of coverage is also good and, most importantly, is free from fluff. Highly recommended!Would never judge a book by its cover, ever!

I bought this book for my grandson who is learning Unity game development. (Unity uses C# as the code base.) The book arrived quickly, in perfect shape, and will be a great asset / resource as we start off his developer's library with it. A good purchase all the way around!

I was in need of learning the basics and some intermediate topics of C# and so far this book hasn't dissapointed. After looking through some underwhelming reviews of similar books I stumbled across this one and though it was worth a go. So far I haven't been dissapointed. The book is well written and doesn't waste much time before getting into the learning content (there's a chapter on the history of the language). Overall this is a great read for anyone starting to learn C# and I can myself reffering to this book for a long while.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
