Overview of this book

During your application development workflow, there is always a moment when you need to get out of a tight spot. Through a recipe-based approach, this book will help you overcome common programming problems and get your applications ready to face the modern world. We start with C# 6, giving you hands-on experience with the new language features. Next, we work through the tasks that you perform on a daily basis such as working with strings, generics, and lots more. Gradually, we move on to more advanced topics such as the concept of object-oriented programming, asynchronous programming, reactive extensions, and code contracts. You will learn responsive high performance programming in C# and how to create applications with Azure. Next, we will review the choices available when choosing a source control solution. At the end of the book, we will show you how to create secure and robust code, and will help you ramp up your skills when using the new version of C# 6 and Visual Studio

Implementing polymorphism


Polymorphism is a concept that is quite easy to grasp once you have looked at and understood the other pillars of OOP. Polymorphism literally means that something can have many forms. This means that from a single interface, you can create multiple implementations.

There are two subsections to this, namely static and dynamic polymorphism. With static polymorphism, you are dealing with the overloading of methods and functions. You can use the same method, but perform many different tasks.

With dynamic polymorphism, you are dealing with the creation and implementation of abstract classes. These abstract classes act as a blueprint that tells you what a derived class should implement. The following section looks at both.

Getting ready

We will begin by illustrating the use of an abstract class, which is an example of dynamic polymorphism. We will then create overloaded constructors as an example of static polymorphism.

How to do it…

  1. Create an abstract class called Shuttle...
