Hands-On Design Patterns with C# and .NET Core

By: Gaurav Aroraa, Jeffrey Chilberto

Overview of this book

Design patterns are essentially reusable solutions to common programming problems. When used correctly, they meet crucial software requirements with ease and reduce costs. This book will uncover effective ways to use design patterns and demonstrate their implementation with executable code specific to both C# and .NET Core. Hands-On Design Patterns with C# and .NET Core begins with an overview of object-oriented programming (OOP) and SOLID principles. It provides an in-depth explanation of the Gang of Four (GoF) design patterns, including creational, structural, and behavioral. The book then takes you through functional, reactive, and concurrent patterns, helping you write better code with streams, threads, and coroutines. Toward the end of the book, you’ll learn about the latest trends in architecture, exploring design patterns for microservices, serverless, and cloud native applications. You’ll even understand the considerations that need to be taken into account when choosing between different architectures such as microservices and MVC. By the end of the book, you will be able to write efficient and clear code and be comfortable working on scalable and maintainable projects of any size.

Concurrency in the real world

Concurrency is a part of our life: it exists in the real world. When we are discussing concurrency, we are referring to multitasking.

In the real world, many of us perform multitasking frequently. For example, we can write a program while speaking on a mobile phone, we can watch a movie while having dinner, and we can sing while reading notations. There are a lot of examples of how we as humans can multitask. Without going into too much scientific detail, we can look at our brain trying to grasp new things while also commanding the other organs of the body to work, such as the heart or our sense of smell, as a form of multitasking.

The same approach applies to our systems (computers). If we think about today's computers, every computer that is available has a CPU of multiple cores (more than one core). This is to allow multiple instructions...
