Mastering C# and .NET Framework

Overview of this book

Mastering C# and .NET Framework will take you in to the depths of C# 6.0/7.0 and .NET 4.6, so you can understand how the platform works when it runs your code, and how you can use this knowledge to write efficient applications. Take full advantage of the new revolution in .NET development, including open source status and cross-platform capability, and get to grips with the architectural changes of CoreCLR. Start with how the CLR executes code, and discover the niche and advanced aspects of C# programming – from delegates and generics, through to asynchronous programming. Run through new forms of type declarations and assignments, source code callers, static using syntax, auto-property initializers, dictionary initializers, null conditional operators, and many others. Then unlock the true potential of the .NET platform. Learn how to write OWASP-compliant applications, how to properly implement design patterns in C#, and how to follow the general SOLID principles and its implementations in C# code. We finish by focusing on tips and tricks that you'll need to get the most from C# and .NET. This book also covers .NET Core 1.1 concepts as per the latest RTM release in the last chapter.

C# – what's different in the language?

I had the chance to chat with Hejlsberg a couple of times about the C # language and what the initial purposes and requirements imposed in its creation were and which other languages inspired him or contributed to his ideas.

The first time we talked, in Tech-Ed 2001 (at Barcelona, Spain), I asked him about the principles of his language and what makes it different from others. He first said that it was not only him who created the language, but also a group of people, especially Scott Wiltamuth, Peter Golde, Peter Sollich, and Eric Gunnerson.

Note

One of the first books ever published on the subject was, A Programmer's Introduction to C#, Gunnerson's.E., APress, 2000).

About the principles, he mentioned this:

"One of the key differences between C# and these other languages, particularly Java, is that we tried to stay much closer to C++ in our design. C# borrows most of its operators, keywords, and statements directly from C++. But beyond these more traditional...
