Summary


Learn advanced C# concepts and techniques such as building caches, cryptography, and parallel programming by solving interesting programming challenges


Key Features


  • Gain useful insights on advanced C# programming topics and APIs

  • Use locking and cached values to solve parallel problems

  • Take advantage of .NET's cryptographic tools to encrypt and decrypt strings


Book Description


C# is a multi-paradigm programming language. The Modern C# Challenge covers with aspects of the .NET Framework such as the Task Parallel Library (TPL) and CryptoAPI. It also encourages you to explore important programming trade-offs such as time versus space or simplicity. There may be many ways to solve a problem and there is often no single right way, but some solutions are definitely better than others. This book has combined these solutions to help you solve real-world problems with C#.



In addition to describing programming trade-offs, The Modern C# Challenge will help you build a useful toolkit of techniques such as value caching, statistical analysis, and geometric algorithms.



By the end of this book, you will have walked through challenges in C# and explored the .NET Framework in order to develop program logic for real-world applications.


What you will learn


  • Perform statistical calculations such as finding the standard deviation

  • Find combinations and permutations

  • Search directories for files matching patterns using LINQ and PLINQ

  • Find areas of polygons using geometric operations

  • Randomize arrays and lists with extension methods

  • Explore the filesystem to find duplicate files

  • Simulate complex systems and implement equality in a class

  • Use cryptographic techniques to encrypt and decrypt strings and files

Who this book is for


The Modern C# Challenge is for all C# developers of different abilities wanting to solve real-world problems. There are problems for everyone at any level of expertise in C#
