Explore C# and the .NET Core framework to create applications and optimize them with ASP.NET Core 2

Key Features

• Get to grips with multi-threaded, concurrent, and asynchronous programming in C# and .NET Core
• Develop modern, cross-platform applications with .NET Core 2.0 and C# 7.0
• Create efficient web applications with ASP.NET Core 2.

Book Description

C# is a widely used programming language, thanks to its easy learning curve, versatility, and support for modern paradigms. The language is used to create desktop apps, background services, web apps, and mobile apps. .NET Core is open source and compatible with Mac OS and Linux. There is no limit to what you can achieve with C# and .NET Core.

This Learning Path begins with the basics of C# and object-oriented programming (OOP) and explores features of C#, such as tuples, pattern matching, and out variables. You will understand.NET Standard 2.0 class libraries and ASP.NET Core 2.0, and create professional websites, services, and applications. You will become familiar with mobile app development using Xamarin.Forms and learn to develop high-performing applications by writing optimized code with various profiling techniques.

By the end of C# 7 and .NET: Designing Modern Cross-platform Applications, you will have all the knowledge required to build modern, cross-platform apps using C# and .NET.

This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products:

• C# 7.1 and .NET Core 2.0 – Modern Cross-Platform Development – Third Edition by Mark J. Price
• C# 7 and .NET Core 2.0 High Performance by Ovais Mehboob Ahmed Khan
