Geometry

This chapter includes geometric problems. Some ask you to calculate values such as π or the area below a curve. Others demonstrate useful techniques such as Monte Carlo algorithms. Finally, some are directly useful if you need to perform geometric operations such as drawing arrowheads or finding intersections between line segments.

Many of these problems have intuitive graphical purposes. In those cases, the solutions may include graphical components that draw the problem and its solution. The graphics code usually isn't necessary to solve the problems, however; it just makes visualizing the solution easier, so I won't describe that code in detail. Download the solutions to see all of the details.

Gain useful insights on advanced C# programming topics and APIs

Use locking and cached values to solve parallel problems

Take advantage of .NET's cryptographic tools to encrypt and decrypt strings

Description

C# is a multi-paradigm programming language. The Modern C# Challenge covers with aspects of the .NET Framework such as the Task Parallel Library (TPL) and CryptoAPI. It also encourages you to explore important programming trade-offs such as time versus space or simplicity. There may be many ways to solve a problem and there is often no single right way, but some solutions are definitely better than others. This book has combined these solutions to help you solve real-world problems with C#. In addition to describing programming trade-offs, The Modern C# Challenge will help you build a useful toolkit of techniques such as value caching, statistical analysis, and geometric algorithms. By the end of this book, you will have walked through challenges in C# and explored the .NET Framework in order to develop program logic for real-world applications.

I've just acquired this latest offering from Rod Stephens, and am absolutely delighted with it. The best description of this book's value I can offer is that for any developer with a solid grounding in C# will find a well organized complete and enjoyable set of coding katas. The set of programming exercises begins with implementing a class of LINQ Extension Methods based on mathematics, including Permutations, Combinations, Primality, and similar functions, working with basic .NET values such as DateTime values and string references, and later on, working with PLINQ and implementing simulations such as Conway's Game of Life, Dawkin's Weasel, as well as smaller graphically based simulations such as Space Force, an Asteroids based game, and Slingshot, using the Windows Forms classes for the graphics rendering.Each chapter for the range of .NET development topics covered are divided into Problems and Solutions, and as Stephens has done consistently over the years with his previous books and blog postings on his C# Helper website, are written in a very clear and concise manner.I would highly recommend this title to any developer who is looking to experiment and challenge their problem-solving skills and hone the edge on their C# coding skills.

This book assumes you have a working knowledge of C# with each chapter having a portion that describes the problem and a portion that describes the solution. This is the first book I have read like this and it was a fairly good experience. When I first sat down with the book I grabbed a notepad and pen and scribbled out some c# pseudo code to try and work the problems then flipped over to the solutions to see if I got it correct. A couple hours later I ran out of paper :). That may not be your preferred way of interacting with the book, however if you enjoy coding puzzles or are looking for a good way to expand your c# skills, this book will do a good job of sucking you in. If you want to use pen and paper, make sure you have plenty on hand.
