Mastering C# and .NET Framework

Overview of this book

Mastering 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 you'll 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.

The NoSQL world


As social media became huge, data requirements increased too. The need to store and retrieve large amounts of data immediately, led to some companies involved in the problem to think about possible alternatives.

So, projects such as BigTable (Google) and Dynamo (Amazon) were among the first few attempts to find a solution to this problem. These projects encouraged a new movement that we now know as the NoSQL initiative, the term being proposed by Johan Oskarsson in a conference in California about these topics, for which he created the Twitter hashtag #NoSQL.

We can define the NoSQL movement as a broad class of system-management databases that differ from the classical model of relational databases (RDBMS) in important facets, the most noticeable one being that they are not using SQL as the primary query language.

Stored data does not require fixed structures such as tables. The result? They don't support JOIN operations, and they do not fully guarantee ACID (atomicity, consistency...
