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


During your career as a creator of software, you will hear the term OOP many times. This design philosophy allows for objects to exist independently and can be reused by different sections of code. This is all made possible by what we refer to as the four pillars of OOP, namely inheritance, encapsulation, abstraction, and polymorphism.

In order to grasp this, you need to start thinking of objects (which are basically instantiated classes) that perform a specific task. Classes need to adhere to the SOLID design principle. This principle is explained here:

  • Single responsibility principle (SRP)

  • Open/closed principle

  • Liskov substitution principle (LSP)

  • Interface segregation principle

  • Dependency inversion principle

Let's start off with an explanation of the four pillars of OOP, after which we will have a look at the SOLID principle in more detail.
