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

Introduction

Azure allows developers to be more productive. It is a series of cloud services that developers can use to build apps, protect data, and provide high availability to your applications irrespective of what you are building. Mobile apps, enterprise apps, web, internet of things (IoT)… all are welcome on Azure.

You can create apps with .NET, JavaScript, PHP, Node.js, Python, and even run Linux containers. Azure also allows you to only pay for what you actually use, allowing you to easily scale as your needs grow.
