C# 7 and .NET: Designing Modern Cross-platform Applications

By: Mark J. Price, Ovais Mehboob Ahmed Khan

Overview of this book

C# is a widely used programming language, thanks to its easy learning curve, versatility, and support for modern paradigms. The language is used to create desktop apps, background services, web apps, and mobile apps. .NET Core is open source and compatible with Mac OS and Linux. There is no limit to what you can achieve with C# and .NET Core. This Learning Path begins with the basics of C# and object-oriented programming (OOP) and explores features of C#, such as tuples, pattern matching, and out variables. You will understand.NET Standard 2.0 class libraries and ASP.NET Core 2.0, and create professional websites, services, and applications. You will become familiar with mobile app development using Xamarin.Forms and learn to develop high-performing applications by writing optimized code with various profiling techniques. By the end of C# 7 and .NET: Designing Modern Cross-platform Applications, you will have all the knowledge required to build modern, cross-platform apps using C# and .NET. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: • C# 7.1 and .NET Core 2.0 - Modern Cross-Platform Development - Third Edition by Mark J. Price • C# 7 and .NET Core 2.0 High Performance by Ovais Mehboob Ahmed Khan

Summary


Writing cleaner code, following the architecture and design principles, and adhering to the best practices play a significant role in application performance. If the code if baggy and repetitive, it can increase the chances of errors, increase complexity, and affect performance.

In this chapter, we have learned some coding principles that make the application code look cleaner and easier to understand. If the code is clean, it offers other developers a way to understand it completely and helps in many other ways. Later on, we learned some basic design principles that are considered to be the core principles when designing applications. Principles such as KISS, YAGNI, DRY, Separation of Concerns, and SOLID are highly essential in software design, and caching and choosing the right data structure have a significant impact on performance and increase performance if they are used properly. Finally, we learned some best practices that should be considered when handling communication, resource...
