Nearly every solution, or "recipe," contains a complete, documented code sample showing you how to solve the specific problem, as well as a detailed discussion of how and why the underling technology works. This question-solution-discussion format is a proven teaching method, as any fan of O'Reilly's "Cookbook" series can attest to. In fact, no other source offers a learn-as-you-go format quite like this. C# Cookbook, 2nd Edition is organized into 20 chapters, each of which focuses on a particular topic in creating C# solutions. Here's just a taste of what's covered: Numeric data types Strings and characters Classes and structures Generics Exception handling Delegates, events, and anonymous methods Filesystem interactions Web site access XML usage (including XPath and XSLT) Networking Threading Unsafe code Best of all, you don't have to be an experienced C# or .NET developer to use C# Cookbook, 2nd Edition . You just have to be someone who wants to solve a problem now, without having to learn all the related theory first.

C# Cookbook: Modern Recipes for Professional Developers
by Joe MayoEven if you're familiar with C# syntax, knowing how to combine various language features is a critical skill when you're building applications. This cookbook is packed full of recipes to help you solve issues for C# programming tasks you're likely to encounter. You'll learn tried-and-true techniques to help you achieve greater productivity and improve the quality of your code.Author and independent consultant Joe Mayo shares some of the most important practices you'll need to be successful as a C# developer. Each section of this cookbook describes some useful facet of the C# programming language. These recipes--the result of many years of experience--are proven concepts for solving real-world problems with C#.Recipes in this book will help you:Set up your project, manage object lifetime, and establish patternsImprove code quality through maintainability, error prevention, and correct syntaxUse LINQ to Objects for in-memory data manipulation and queryingUnderstand the differences between dynamic programming and reflectionApply several async programming features you may not be aware ofWork with data using newer libraries and algorithmsLearn different ways to use new C# features, such as pattern matching and records
C# Data Structures and Algorithms: Explore the possibilities of C# for developing a variety of efficient applications
by Marcin JamroA complete guide on using data structures and algorithms to write sophisticated C# codeKey Features Master array, set and map with trees and graphs, among other fundamental data structures Delve into effective design and implementation techniques to meet your software requirements Explore illustrations to present data structures and algorithms, as well as their analysis in a clear, visual manner.Book DescriptionData structures allow organizing data efficiently. They are critical to various problems and their suitable implementation can provide a complete solution that acts like reusable code. In this book, you will learn how to use various data structures while developing in the C# language as well as how to implement some of the most common algorithms used with such data structures.At the beginning, you will get to know arrays, lists, dictionaries, and sets together with real-world examples of your application. Then, you will learn how to create and use stacks and queues. In the following part of the book, the more complex data structures will be introduced, namely trees and graphs, together with some algorithms for searching the shortest path in a graph. We will also discuss how to organize the code in a manageable, consistent, and extendable way. By the end of the book,you will learn how to build components that are easy to understand, debug, and use in different applications.What you will learn How to use arrays and lists to get better results in complex scenarios Implement algorithms like the Tower of Hanoi on stacks of C# objects Build enhanced applications by using hashtables, dictionaries and sets Make a positive impact on efficiency of applications with tree traversal Effectively find the shortest path in the graph Who this book is forThis book is for developers who would like to learn the Data Structures and Algorithms in C#. Basic C# programming knowledge would be an added advantage.
