Functional C#

Overview of this book

Functional programming makes your application faster, improves performance, and increases your productivity. C# code is written at a higher level of abstraction, so that code will be closer to business requirements, abstracting away many low-level implementation details. This book bridges the language gap for C# developers by showing you how to create and consume functional constructs in C#. We also bridge the domain gap by showing how functional constructs can be applied in business scenarios. We’ll take you through lambda expressions and extension methods, and help you develop a deep understanding of the concepts and practices of LINQ and recursion in C#. By the end of the book, you will be able to write code using the best approach and will be able to perform unit testing in functional programming, changing how you write your applications and revolutionizing your projects.

Preface

Chapter 6. Enhancing the Responsiveness of the Functional Program with Asynchronous Programming

Responsive applications are a must in today's programming approach. They can improve the performance of the application itself and make our application have a user-friendly interface. We need to asynchronously run the code execution process in our program to have a responsive application. To achieve this goal, in this chapter, we will discuss the following topics:

  • Using thread and thread pool to build a responsive application

  • Learning about asynchronous programming model patterns

  • Learning about task-based asynchronous patterns

  • Using the async and await keywords to build asynchronous programming

  • Applying an asynchronous method in a functional approach
