Improving your C# Skills

By: Ovais Mehboob Ahmed Khan, John Callaway, Clayton Hunt, Rod Stephens

Overview of this book

This Learning Path shows you how to create high performing applications and solve programming challenges using a wide range of C# features. You’ll begin by learning how to identify the bottlenecks in writing programs, highlight common performance pitfalls, and apply strategies to detect and resolve these issues early. You'll also study the importance of micro-services architecture for building fast applications and implementing resiliency and security in .NET Core. Then, you'll study the importance of defining and testing boundaries, abstracting away third-party code, and working with different types of test double, such as spies, mocks, and fakes. In addition to describing programming trade-offs, this Learning Path will also help you build a useful toolkit of techniques, including value caching, statistical analysis, and geometric algorithms. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: • C# 7 and .NET Core 2.0 High Performance by Ovais Mehboob Ahmed Khan • Practical Test-Driven Development using C# 7 by John Callaway, Clayton Hunt • The Modern C# Challenge by Rod Stephens

Creating a React app


For the application in this book, to maintain compatibility, you will want to use Node.js version 8.5.0, NPM version 5.4.2, and create-react-app version 1.4.0.

Execute the following commands to install and execute the app:

>npm install
>npm test
>npm start

All three commands should run successfully. After running npm test, you will need to exit the test run by hitting <q>. After running npm start, you will need to exit the server by hitting Ctrl + C.

Ejecting the app

Assuming the previous step went without a hitch, we can proceed to eject the React app. Again, as it has already been explained in detail in Chapter 7Setting up the JavaScript Environment, we will only do a short review here.

There is only a single command to eject the application. After ejection, we will want to rerun the commands in the previous section to ensure that the application still works as expected.

Execute the following command to eject:

>npm run eject
