C# 7 and .NET Core 2.0 High Performance

By: Ovais Mehboob Ahmed Khan

Overview of this book

While writing an application, performance is paramount. Performance tuning for realworld applications often involves activities geared toward fnding bottlenecks; however, this cannot solve the dreaded problem of slower code. If you want to improve the speed of your code and optimize an application's performance, then this book is for you. C# 7 and .NET Core 2.0 High Performance begins with an introduction to the new features of what?explaining how they help in improving an application's performance. Learn to identify the bottlenecks in writing programs and highlight common performance pitfalls, and learn strategies to detect and resolve these issues early. You will explore multithreading and asynchronous programming with .NET Core and learn the importance and effcient use of data structures. This is followed with memory management techniques and design guidelines to increase an application’s performance. Gradually, the book will show you the importance of microservices architecture for building highly performant applications and implementing resiliency and security in .NET Core. After reading this book, you will learn how to structure and build scalable, optimized, and robust applications in C#7 and .NET.

Understanding .NET Core Internals and Measuring Performance

When developing application architecture, knowing the internals of how the .NET framework works plays a vital role in ensuring the quality of the application's performance. In this chapter, we will focus on the internals of .NET Core that can help us write quality code and architecture for any application. This chapter will cover some of the core concepts of .NET Core internals, including the compilation process, garbage collection, and Framework Class Library (FCL). We will complete this chapter by going through the BenchmarkDotNet tool, which is mostly used in measuring code performance, and is highly recommended for benchmarking code snippets within an application.

In this chapter, you will learn the following topics:

  • .NET Core internals
  • Utilizing multiple cores of the CPU for high performance
  • How releasing builds...
