Leverage the latest parallel and concurrency features in .NET 6 when building your next application and explore the benefits and challenges of asynchrony, parallelism, and concurrency in .NET via practical examples Key FeaturesLearn to implement parallel programming and handle concurrency in .NET efficientlySwitch threads while debugging and learn how to monitor specific threads in Visual StudioDiscover how to cancel tasks with callbacks, by polling, or by using a task with wait handlesBook Description .NET has included managed threading capabilities since the beginning, but early techniques had inherent risks: memory leaks, thread synchronization issues, and deadlocks. This book will help you avoid those pitfalls and leverage the modern constructs available in .NET 6 and C# 10, while providing recommendations on patterns and best practices for parallelism and concurrency. Parallel, concurrent, and asynchronous programming are part of every .NET application today, and it becomes imperative for modern developers to understand how to effectively use these techniques. This book will teach intermediate-level .NET developers how to make their applications faster and more responsive with parallel programming and concurrency in .NET and C# with practical examples. The book starts with the essentials of multi-threaded .NET development and explores how the language and framework constructs have evolved along with .NET. You will later get to grips with the different options available today in .NET 6, followed by insights into best practices, debugging, and unit testing. By the end of this book, you will have a deep understanding of why, when, and how to employ parallelism and concurrency in any .NET application. What you will learnPrevent deadlocks and race conditions with managed threadingUpdate Windows app UIs without causing exceptionsExplore best practices for introducing asynchronous constructs to existing codeAvoid pitfalls when introducing parallelism to your codeImplement the producer-consumer pattern with Dataflow blocksEnforce data sorting when processing data in parallel and safely merge data from multiple sourcesUse concurrent collections that help synchronize data across threadsDebug an everyday parallel app with the Parallel Stacks and Parallel Tasks windowsWho this book is for This book is for beginner to intermediate-level .NET developers who want to employ the latest parallel and concurrency features in .NET when building their applications. Readers should have a solid understanding of the C# language and any version of the .NET Framework or .NET Core.

"C Programming in easy steps" instructs the reader how to program in C both on Unix-based platforms, such as Linux, and on Windows platforms. Linux users should already have the GNU C compiler on their system but the book explains how to download and install the GNU C compiler for Windows users. It contains separate chapters on each major feature of the C language, with examples, and a reference section describing the standard C header class functions. For the most part, the examples are complete, real programs, rather than isolated fragments. All examples have been tested directly from the text, which is in machine-readable form. Besides showing how to make effective use of the language, the book illustrates good style and sound program design.
