Deep C#: Dive Into Modern C#

More about the book

C# has established itself as a robust language, now revitalized through its open-source version, allowing for cross-platform capabilities. In this comprehensive exploration, Mike James, a C# programmer since its inception in 2000, delves into essential topics relevant to most C# developers. While some content may be familiar, the focus on the motivations behind key concepts aims to provoke thought and empower developers to leverage C#’s extensive features. The introductory chapter traces C#’s evolution over two decades, highlighting its status as a modern, general-purpose language that excels in Windows programming. The book is organized into six sections covering Strong Typing & Type Safety, Casting & Generics, Functions, Async, Data (including LINQ, XML, Regular Expressions), and Unsafe & Interop. Long-standing languages often become difficult to view with fresh perspective, but this work encourages readers to shed outdated habits and rekindle their enthusiasm for C# in its contemporary form. Mike James, editor of I-Programmer.info, has a career that spans multiple generations of technology, consistently updating his skills. He has authored numerous books, including titles on Kotlin, Python, JavaScript, and programming theory.
