C# is undeniably one of the most versatile programming languages available to engineers today. With this comprehensive guide, you'll learn just how powerful the combination of C# and .NET can be. Author Ian Griffiths guides you through C# 12.0 and .NET 8 fundamentals and techniques for building cloud, web, and desktop applications.

Designed for experienced programmers, this book provides many code examples to help you work with the nuts and bolts of C#, such as generics, LINQ, and asynchronous programming features. You'll get up to speed on .NET 8 and the latest C# 11.0 and 12.0 additions, including generic math, new polymorphism options, enhanced pattern matching, and new features designed to improve productivity.

The C# programming language (pronounced “see sharp”) is used for many kinds of applications, including websites, cloud-based systems, artificial intelligence, IoT devices, desktop applications, embedded controllers, mobile apps, games, and command-line utilities. C#, along with the supporting runtime, libraries, and tools known collectively as .NET, has been center stage for Windows developers for over 20 years. Today, .NET is cross-platform and open source, enabling applications and services written in C# to run on operating systems including Android, iOS, macOS, and Linux, as well as on Windows.

Every new version of C# has enhanced developer productivity. For example, the most recent versions include new pattern matching features to make our code more expressive and succinct. Primary constructors and collection expressions help to reduce verbosity in some common scenarios. Various type system enhancements allow our code to express its requirements and characteristics in more detail, enabling us to write more flexible libraries, and to enjoy better compile-time diagnostics.
