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.

Summary

In this chapter, we discussed concurrent programming and concurrency in the real world. We looked at how we can handle various scenarios related to concurrency in our day-to-day life. We looked at collecting conference tickets from serving counters, and we understood what parallel programming and concurrent programming are. We have also covered multithreading, Async/Await, Concurrent collection, and PLINQ.

In the upcoming chapter, we will get a taste of functional programming using the C# language. We will dive deeper into the concepts that show us how to use C# in .NET Core to perform functional programming.
