Hands-On Parallel Programming with C# 8 and .NET Core 3: Build solid enterprise software using task parallelism and multithreading

Rate this book
Enhance your enterprise application development skills by mastering parallel programming techniques in .NET and C#

Key FeaturesWrite efficient, fine-grained, and scalable parallel code with C# and .NET CoreExperience how parallel programming works by building a powerful applicationLearn the fundamentals of multithreading by working with IIS and KestrelBook DescriptionIn today’s world, every CPU has a multi-core processor. However, unless your application has implemented parallel programming, it will fail to utilize the hardware’s full processing capacity. This book will show you how to write modern software on the optimized and high-performing .NET Core 3 framework using C# 8.

Hands-On Parallel Programming with C# 8 and .NET Core 3 covers how to build multithreaded, concurrent, and optimized applications that harness the power of multi-core processors. Once you’ve understood the fundamentals of threading and concurrency, you’ll gain insights into the data structure in .NET Core that supports parallelism. The book will then help you perform asynchronous programming in C# and diagnose and debug parallel code effectively. You’ll also get to grips with the new Kestrel server and understand the difference between the IIS and Kestrel operating models. Finally, you’ll learn best practices such as test-driven development, and run unit tests on your parallel code.

By the end of the book, you’ll have developed a deep understanding of the core concepts of concurrency and asynchrony to create responsive applications that are not CPU-intensive.

What you will learnAnalyze and break down a problem statement for parallelismExplore the APM and EAP patterns and how to move legacy code to TaskApply reduction techniques to get aggregated resultsCreate PLINQ queries and study the factors that impact their performanceSolve concurrency problems caused by producer-consumer race conditionsDiscover the synchronization primitives available in .NET CoreUnderstand how the threading model works with IIS and KestrelFind out how you can make the most of server resourcesWho this book is forIf you want to learn how task parallelism is used to build robust and scalable enterprise architecture, this book is for you. Whether you are a beginner to parallelism in C# or an experienced architect, you’ll find this book useful to gain insights into the different threading models supported in .NET Standard and .NET Core. Prior knowledge of C# is required to understand the concepts covered in this book.

If you're a beginner - just don't. Some examples are atrocious, and some are simply incorrect in terms of execution or using a proper code. Theory is decent, but practical side is lacking, book needs a technical editor IMO to fix some of the code listings at least
