<p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <p style="margin:0px;"> <i>“ Welcome to one of the greatest collaborations you could dream of in the world of C# books—and probably far beyond!”</i> </p> <p style="margin:0px;">—From the Foreword by Mads Torgersen, C# Program Manager, Microsoft</p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <p style="margin:0px;"> <b> <i>Essential C# 6.0</i> </b> is a well-organized, no-fluff guide to the latest versions of C# for programmers at all levels of experience. Fully updated to reflect new C# 6.0 and .NET 4.6 features and patterns, it will help you write C# code that’s simple, powerful, robust, secure, and maintainable.</p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <p style="margin:0px;">This book’s authors are world-class C# experts: long-time Microsoft MVP and Regional Director Mark Michaelis and Eric Lippert, formerly principal developer on Microsoft’s C# compiler team. Together, they cover the entire language, illustrating key constructs with succinct examples and offering a complete foundation for successful C# development.</p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <p style="margin:0px;"> <b> <i> <b> <b> <b>Essential C# 6.0 </b> </b> </b> </i> </b>makes it easy to program with any version of C#, whether you’re creating new code or maintaining existing systems. Separate indexes for C# versions 4, 5, and 6 help you quickly find version-specific answers with accompanying visual indicators that help you identify which language innovations will work when. This edition also includes a set of best-practice C# Coding Guidelines updated to leverage C# 6.0 constructs.</p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <p style="margin:0px;">Coverage includes</p> <ul> <li>Mastering C# data types, operators, control flow, methods, and parameters</li> <li> Using C# object-oriented constructs, including classes, inheritance, interfaces, and more—all with the significantly simplified syntax of C# 6.0</li> <li>Working with well-formed value and reference types</li> <li>Implementing reliable, effective exception handling</li> <li>Reducing code complexity with generics, delegates, lambda expressions, and events (including a simplified C# 6.0 syntax for triggering events)</li> <li>Learning dynamic programming with reflection and attributes</li> <li>Querying diverse data collections using LINQ with query expressions</li> <li>Creating custom collections that operate against business objects</li> <li>Using collection interfaces and standard query operators to access .NET collections</li> <li>Understanding the Common Language Infrastructure and C# in the context of .NET 4.6</li> <li>Taking advantage of declarative programming, embedded metadata, reflection, and attributes</li> <li>Mastering multithreading and synchronization, including the new async/await paradigm</li> <li>Using P/Invoke, pointers, and direct memory manipulation to interoperate with other languages</li> <li>Understanding how C# programs relate to the underlying runtime</li> </ul> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <p style="margin:0px;"> <b>For Qualified Instructors</b> </p> <p style="margin:0px;">An instructor’s guide, exercises, and a slide deck are available to support your courses.</p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p>
